iPod Classic 160GB
By: Laiq Qureshi   |   Feb 29, 2008

Coverflow is brilliant, with or without the touchscreen. But it’s a tad sluggish if the player is stuffed to the brim. Frankly this is something I expected, considering the 160GB of data on a hard drive. The worst thing, however, is that this sluggishness trickles down to the most basic functions, such as navigating through the device. This can be downright irritating. However, it plays music efficiently.



The chromed rear adds to the elegance, the only grouse is that it’s a fingerprint magnet. The screen is a good 2.5-inch color LCD with LED backlight supporting 320 x 240 pixel resolution at 163 pixels per inch, and now offers crisper video contrast and brilliant sharpness. But more on that in the next section...


Everything else remains the same. You get a calendar, contacts, alarms – and yes, a screen lock feature that lets you use a 4-digit password to activate the screen. One of the most appreciated new features is a direct access to the shuffle function on the fly. You can reach it via the middle button now.


However, value addition isn't the only change the Classic has gone through. The AV output feature has been very inconveniently removed. You can set a maximum volume limit, so that you don’t go damaging your ear. You can also use the player as a portable hard drive.

You guys may feel like that,Even I was also thinking in that way ...but,when My friend bought iPod classic 80GIG for 11.4K from ebay with international warrenty I was a bit amused with the priced and the sound differs a lot from conventional SE or Nokia phones.Guys ,truly speaking iPod ROCKS IT ROCKS A LOT U DONT KNOW GUYS..IT IS A WAY BEYOND ANY MP3 GADGET..U CANT GET SUCH SOUND IN NSERIES AND ALSO IN ANY SE PHONES ABOVE 15K...The only limitation for iPOD is that ear phones doesnt have a noise cancellation feature as SE earphones have(They can be plugged fully in to ears,cancelling the sounds from surroundings) ..

ipods audio is average, they say and the bundled earphones is also average. unless u have exceptional ears, a good phone is more than enough. but don`t go for crappy phones, go 4 the good ones out there. i`m lucky to hear from creative ep-630, bose in-ear and sennheiser(around 25000). they all sounded the same though sennheiser feels a bit good. but thats not worth the money u pay for. i think creative one doing the job well. unless u feel like the the sound is crappy don`t buy any fancy items. hear it before u buy. same applied pmp`s, monitors- see it before u buy. price/performance is the key. u need to benefit for the money u pay. experiance says it all

Completey agree with Nabeel.. I mean why so hue & cry about ipod.. I had an ipod video 80GB a year ago and there was nothing much you could do except listening to few songs... You cant utilize the whole 80GB even if you listen to music for a week or so.. The quality is good no doubt but nowadays cellphones do have quality which can give ipod a run for its money... Getting an ipod and paying ridiculously large money for it is definitly not a good idea...Though it serves as a good external drive...

may be you feel it that way, listening music on an ipod is a completely different experience, you don't mind carrying three gadgets (phone, camera and ipod) if you are a perfectionist, the pics from a digicam are way ahead in quality when compared to a phone, so it is not a stupid idea to have three gadgets instead of a single one which is like a "jack of all and master of none".

I still dont understand why people are hyped about I pods?! My questions are why do people like to carry a lot of devices around when all could come under one the best example being mobile phones.. Not the ordinary ones the ones from Nokia etc... They provide ample performance and they are sufficient for a lot of stuff.. U can take pics with a high mega pixel camera or take videos or listen to music attend calls manage contacts get connected to internet and still a lot more that a conventional i pod cannot do... So i dont see the idea of getting an i pod over a phone that has ten folds of functionality than a multimedia player... As for storage dude its a fact we dont listen to all the music thats released or sung in the same month or week we get bored and eventually delete the old songs once we are bored .... So if one is really dying for storage he can get a phone that has hot swaps with storage cards as much as he likes... My point is getting an i pod is a stupid idea....

I have d 5th gen video pod....d 30gb one...which feels really tiny if seen against d 120 monster(in terms of mem power) . I was thinkin of upgradin 2 d 160 very soon but den it doesn't have AV out (which i use widely)...big time sad thing...somethin dat i really didnt like in ma ipod was d NO MANUAL GRAPHIC EQUALIZER. I love my pod cos its been a rock steady electronic gadget i'v had till now n still goin strong...though at times carryin it in d bone crushin crowd of Mumbai locals is a hassle...d bigger size jus adds 2 it now...d 160 really appeals 2 ma heart but falls back drastically in practicality.
It has as many things 2 hate 4 as many 2 love 4...its how much u can compromise over all d things dat r missin
