Review: This iPod is still a true classic

40,000 songs! It can hold my current CD collection (which is pretty substantial) and all the music I buy for years to come. Or you can fill it with seven hours of video, though the 2.5-inch, 320 x 240 pixel display is too small for long term video viewing.

The iPod classic -- which is really the latest incarnation of the beloved original iPod design -- delivers the things most of us have long loved about our iPods. It's available in silver and black only,.

The iPod classic sports a hard drive rather than flash memory. It features up to 40 hours of music playback and seven hours of video playback on a single charge, according to Apple. I test drove it and actually got about 1.5 hours of music playback and a half hour more of video playback than the official specs indicate.

What's not to love?

The iPod classic is available immediately through the Apple Store, Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. It requires a Mac with a USB 2.0 port, Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later and iTunes 9; or a Windows PC with a USB 2.0 port and Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional (Service Pack 3) or later and iTunes 9.
