I recieved my iPod Classic 80Gb on Tuesday. After years of holding off on buying an iPod/iTunes and using Creative's offerings with WMP, I have to say it's a real revelation to see how these devices should work.
It's such a slick user interface, and a great screen. I find iTunes is significantly slower that WMP, but the consistency between the iPod and iTunes is a very nice feature - especially browsing using coverflow, which I find works more than adequately on the iPod. The white background works well in my opinion, as it gives better contrast against the content.
The 80gb capacity means I can keep all of my MP3 collection in my pocket. No re-syncing every few weeks for me any more!
From the perspective of a first time owner, rather than someone upgrading a previous gen iPod, I'd definitely recommend the new Classic.
It's a shame I've already scratched the back of it :(
(note to self : keep keys and ipod in different pockets)
