"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 through the dock connector, and that is limited to Apple supported products.
The interface is significantly slower and other users on the Apple forums are reporting that audio is even skipping whenever they attempted to browse through their music while a song is playing. This is absolutely unacceptable!
I know Jobs wants more people to buy the iPhone/iPod Touch, but if you're going to appease those of us who want more storage over cool screens, please make sure the product actually functions just as well or better than the last product.

I'm curious as to whether or not you actually own an iPod Classic. You keep referring to other peoples' experiences rather than your own:
"..other users on the Apple forums are reporting that audio is even skipping.."
"Reports from iLounge and Arstechnica suggest that the video output has been disabled.."
I'm sure "Cover Flow" takes up a lot of processing power, but I really don't care for that kind of stuff. I just want an iPod with a brighter screen and more HD space.
Nonetheless, I'll be picking one up as soon as they're available over here where I can get it tax-free.
Where to buy
Apple iPod Classic (160GB, black):
