The iPod Classic. It's Not A Dying Breed.By Seth Harlen (P®od)After reading a recent article in MacLife about all the iPod models at present i had a real thought about which iPods are dying. All the iPod models have major advantages and disadvantages that all customers should consider.
The features of any iPod grow and grow and just overwhelm even the most geeky of customers. Even though the feature war is not a entirely bad thing, some customers are still just looking for the music player they can just listen to their own music and not have to worry about the rest of the "stuff" Apple likes to shove on the little drives.
Firstly there's the iPod shuffle. Its for sporty people. Or people who are just technically adept.
Then there's the iPod Nano, for film makers (in the making) or just plain youtubers. You can still play your music but there's extras. The iPod touch on the other-hand is a music player and personal computer. But all by itself and still containing a highly fragile Hard Drive is the iPod Classic.
Before you think that it is definitely a dying breed think again, because if you have a more informed look at its features you'll see that it has the largest capacity then all the other models of iPod. It has the longest battery life and it even has the great basic features of the original iPod.
In detail the iPod classic boasts a 160GB Hard Drive and can play up to 36 hours of music without a charge in between. Its still portable, and sure, you might not be able to use your Nike+iPod Kit© but you can still take it walking or driving. Not only that but it can be used as a portable Hard Drive as well as your portable player. Sure it lacks the camera and the internet and apps etc but if you seriously consider it its almost as good as an iPod touch... well sort of.
