The Apple iPod Classic 120GB - the slickest iPod classic to hit the streets?
Review of the Apple iPod Classic 120GB (6th Generation)
A continuation to the iPod classic series, this new 120 GB sixth generation model is a comfortable alternative to the iPod series. Its slim shape is much like the 80 GB model, yet it has lower pricing. This Apple 120GB iPod is a direct replacement of the classic 160 GB that has been discontinued since last year. The purpose of this newer model is to carry on the mantle of the original iPod idea (which is basically, TAKE ALL THE MUSIC YOU CAN CARRY ANYWHERE YOU WANT). It touts the ability to store at least 30,000 songs or over 150 hours worth of video. The large capacity and serious looks makes for the 6th generation Apple IPod Classic 120 GB a happy commodious gadget for the music lover.
Expedience is Excellence
Convenience is what this new model is all about. Simple to use, a large storage capacity for music, photos, or videos, it truly satisfies the average PMP devotee. It is still in the race as a solid choice for people who want top of the line music and media players. Almost nothing can beat the advantages of this iPod Classic. Battery life has improved over the other versions. It is estimated to last at least six hours of video play and around thirty-six hours of music (or other audio). Having all your collection at the palm of your tips, and the knowledge that it can last this long if somehow you get stranded in an airport or confined in a waiting room, eases the mind and helps pass the time. The click wheel is still as smooth as ever, especially since it is almost an elementary instinct when handling the iPod with only one hand and one thumb.
The Genius Equation
Random selection or creating playlists have always been a sort of annoyance for the average iPod lover. But now, Apple has finally decided to include a program that intelligently selects for you the right songs complementary to the flow of the theme you wanted to get into the mood to. Technically, this means that the Genius system searches for the Meta Data embedded into a song and searches for other music with similar Meta Tags. No longer will one have to nap or relax to the soothing music of Sade and then be rudely awakened to the sound of a hard-core screamo group. This is truly a vast improvement.
Profound Sound
While the iPod Classic 120GB was never meant to replace the home entertainment Hi Fi system, it is certainly a pleasant alternative to the ones most people have. In truth, if one does not have such a system, then this iPod is certainly the best option. Apple has made significant improvements to its other releases, wherein most of them had a slightly warm quality, whereas this one is a little brighter. A practiced studio engineer, having adept hearing talents, might detect better handling of soft and low tones as well as smooth transient detail in the Apple 120GB iPod Classic. But to be sure, and for the average music lover, try to plug it in your living room entertainment system and youll definitely appreciate the profound sound that emanates from this wonderful media player. The improved detail to the quality of sound is a direct testament to the tenacious abilities of the sound engineers at Apple. One can also be surprised at the reduced noise floor, if one has the technical ear of a studio engineer, that is.
Helping the Environment
Enclosed in stainless steel with recyclable aluminum, this iPod Classic also comes with other environmentally friendly features like recycled packaging (bio-based materials) as well as boasting Arsenic-free glass. It is also Mercury-free, PVC-free, and Brominated flame retardant free.
The Final Testament
Since its release on October 23, 2001 most of what Apple released have been best sellers. This new iPod Classic 120GB could seriously eclipse all iPods that came before it out of the way due to its user-friendly features and dependable performance. That may be an overstatement or maybe not. But there is one thing that is absolutely true; if reliability is your key criteria then getting this iPod is a must
