Very interesting. I have a 120 GB iPod Classic and I love it... though I have to admit I use it less often now that I have an iPhone. For example, I used to download podcasts and listen on my iPod, but now I'm just as likely to listen via the iPhone (since you don't have to plan ahead to have it on there-- you can go and get it) or listen to something "live" on iPhone rather than waiting for it to be posted as a podcast.
But yeah, as they point out there, the great draw of the iPod Classic is that huge memory capacity. Mine has tons of music, movies, TV shows, books on audio, etc on it, and it's barely half full. The drawback to the hard drive, though, is that it is much more fragile than flash memory. I dropped my previous iPod on a hard floor just one time, and it was shot. The hard drive was ruined. Conversely, I dropped a flash memory USB key into a mud puddle about four years ago. I dried it out, and it still works fine today. --Van On Aug 27, 10:10 am, Cary Preston <[email protected]> wrote: > http://www.pcworld.com/article/204294/The_Fate_of_the_iPod_Classic_A_... > > -- Shared with Google Share Button -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Unique Geek" group.
