Pros And Contra Of 7th Generation IPod
First, the particular capacity of the ipod device is just hard to beat. I’ve yet to see another portable media player that can match the iPod Classic in capacity. I have a huge music library, and it’s nice to be able to carry every song that I own on my person at all times. If you have a lot of music and want to carry it all with you; if 30, 60, 80 or 120 Gb is just not enough; if this is your first iPod purchase, or if you just really, really like the new interface and games (I know I did), then I highly reccomend it, and you won’t be dissapointed. If you ask me this can be definetly the most beneficial music gamer on the market. You will need to sit down and learn how to use iTunes, but when you do, you’re just going to love this little gadget. Its long lasting and also would not will need loads of add-ons.
The second thing that I love about this iPod can be summed up in two words: it works. The iPod Classic 160 GB that was introduced in 2007 was extremely buggy, had a non-responsive Clickwheel on many units, crashed frequently, and required a hit-and-miss firmware update to stop the hard drive from spinning even when the device was “off,” which often lead to dead batteries. The screen is very bright, crisp, the sound is properly reproduced (early iPods had problems with bass but haven’t had that problem for years). My AVIC-D3 (Pioneer car nav) works properly and charges with the same cable as my old iPod (video does NOT play, that’s a known incompatibility with the unit).
The next, The Mp3 can be simple to operate, that wheel and also menu product rather spontaneous as well as will take solely mins to master. The sound is good for a portable MP3 player, the supplied earphones adequate. I might be expecting that i shall be upgrading my own earphones within the forseeable future. Using 160GB of area in addition to great audio, this is certainly the actual new music lover’s ipod device. I can say that this has the best- the touch sound quality is nice too but if you overflow it with too many applications it gets marred. Here, though, because it’s a standalone iPod, the quality is great.
Then , The battery life is absolutely fantastic , a major major plus for me. Your electric battery lifetime has become tremendously enhanced, not to mention the 160gb width is extremely useful. As expected a great electronic device, the battery is running low a bit faster than expected. I noticed that the battery power lasts way longer than the old versions. My old iPod classic wouldn’t usually last a full day during high school, but this one lasted about a month before needing to be recharged. I got incredibly satisfied.
Some people think a hard drive based iPod is fragile. I have not found this to be the case. True, a Flash Drive based iPod is ‘tougher’, however the hard drive in the iPod classic can take a lot of shock. Typically these drives can take 1 G of Vibration (1 to 50 Hz), 250 G’s of Operating Shock, and an incredible 1000 G’s of Non-Operating Shock. A limitation of flash memory is that it has a finite number of erase-write cycles. Most commercially available flash products are guaranteed to withstand around 100,000 write-erase-cycles, before the wear begins to deteriorate the integrity of the storage.
Here are the cons.
The First Problem , I have used of the iPod with audiobooks. After you rip mp3 audio books they really want to venture to this Tunes group. If you switch over and label everything as an audiobook, the way the audiobook display works does not seem to be the same as with music. With an audiobook, I do not care about seeing separate songs or disks, I care about being able to navigate from book to book and from chapter to chapter easily. The only way I could get that to work really well on the iPod was to rip everything into one giant MP3 file at speech resolution. Then I can “Cover Flow” through all the books and manage my content reasonably well, though not completely. Some of the books that iTunes sells on its store are broken up into multiple files so they show up as 3 files under cover flow.
The second, I really don’t like the phone plug on the top. I don’t know why they changed it. When I are unable to see just about any cause for that. I had a first generation ipod nano, with the plug below and it was way much better easier to use. I really could very easily manipulate the particular mp3 in my personal pants pocket. Now with the plug on top, it is always upside down on my pocket and it is really annoying to get it, since the phone cable are always on the way of my hand. There’s no doubt that it can be poor, really.
The third , Apple iPod classic wouldn’t have been much stroke of genius to put a touch-pad down on the lower-half. The same one they were using on the last generation of PowerBooks or the advanced one they’ve got on the new macbooks would have really made the interface more useable (like the touch/iPhone) without adding as much cost (seriously, $50 more at most?)
Finally, I would highly recommend this product, which is why it gets five stars from me. I don’t like the iPod Nano; it’s too small for my hands, and the screen is too small for my eyes. While the iPod Touch may have app store access and Wi-Fi, I find it to be a really gimmicky device, that makes for a poor portable media player, (Apple was wise to position it as a handheld game system,) and is really an “iPhone without a phone.” In contrast, the iPod Classic is an excellent portable media player, it has an excellent interface, and it only costs $249 dollars. To put things in perspective, the 2009 160GB iPod Classic costs $70 dollars more than a 16GB iPod Nano, and $150 dollars less than a 64GB iPod Touch. All in all, I highly recommend this product.
Pros: Largest iPod Capacity-wise, long battery life, “Genius” feature, excellent value for your money, well-built, doubles as an external hard drive, and improvements to Cover Flow, very easy to scratch, especially on the back, sleek, sounds great.
Cons: Hard Drive (rather than Flash memory) based storage medium; device is cosmetically identical to the 2007 80GB model, screen is too small for reasonable movie watching(eg. in-flight) , No Fashion Colors ,No radio ,No Wi-Fi ,No FM Radio, and also the back of iPod can be scratched extremely easily
