"revised model w/ very significant flaws"
Pros: Great screen, crazy storage
Cons: Frustratingly slow interface
Summary: I've got the 80gb version of this and I simply can't recommend it, at this time. The new eye candy introduced (imagery to the right of menus) w/ the iPod classic has made navigating the menus unacceptably slow. There are frequent pauses and delays a... read more >>

"Slow clunky interface kills the deal"
Pros: Max out at 160GB ! I can fit almost everything!
Cons: GUI, coverflow, less sensitive wheel
Summary: I'm curious as to whether CNet actually tested the video out ability on the Classic through the headphone jack? Reports from iLounge and Arstechnica suggest that the video output has been disabled through the headphone jack and now only works throu... read more >>

"Very Nice mp3 player -- but you have to use itunes"
Pros: Huge drive, nice interface, nice weight and size
Cons: Currently, you must use Itunes. Nothing else works
Summary: I've never been able to find a portable mp3 player that would suffice for my needs. Thus, I've always played out of my laptop into a stereo system... so, this is actually my first (portable) MP3 player. My needs were simple - a huge drive and good b... read more >>
