Review summaries for Apple Classic from expert mp3 player reviewers.

really good audio player

Apple iPod (MA002LL/A):PCWorld

The 2.5-inch screen is absolutely beautiful. The 320-by-240-pixel screen is bright and sharp, and videos look great on it. It remains exceptionally simple: Click on the marked spots for play, fast forward, rewind, and the menu, and scroll the wheel around to control volume and navigate through menus. Screen is bright and sharp. The battery life of the new iPod is reasonable: When I played back the aforementioned videos, the unit lasted around 2.5 hours--not great, but long enough for most co... *

new video functionality

Apple iPod 30GB:T3

With its slimmer, sexier profile and new video features, the best music player around just got a whole lot better
"
Navigation remains the best around and the audio quality is top-notch."

futuristic headphones sound decent

Apple iPod U2 Special Edition (30GB, second generation):CNet

Audio is especially noticeable while watching video, as most people aren't used to hearing bassy passages in a show such as Desperate Housewives. Viewing angles are decent, but the lack of a built-in speaker, as well as the screen, which is small by portable video player standards (most have 3.5- to 7-inch screens), makes the iPod an intensely personal device. CNET Labs was able to muster 14.7 hours of audio-only battery life for the 30GB version. CNET Labs was able to muster nearly 15 hours... *

"
the interface in general but also makes viewing videos a reasonable if not pleasurable experience."
"
the big, bright screen--which looks great outdoors, where a backlight is not necessary--makes for a clean and joyful user experience."
"
graphical button overlay"
"
When set to "factory brightness," the player offered a rather spectacular 8.7 hour battery life for video"
"
CNET Labs was able to muster nearly 15 hours of audio-only battery life and about 2.5 hours for video."
"
CNET Labs was able to muster 14.7 hours of audio-only battery life for the 30GB version."
"
Photos look stupendous on the new screen, and in thumbnail view, you get five extra photos."
"
The 5G iPod is also a decent photo viewer, and you can listen to music while you browse photos or watch a slide show; the iPod has excellent slide-show options, including a variety of transitions and customizable music."
"
decent photo viewer"
"
The 2.5-inch screen that?s on the new iPod is capable of displaying photos and video at up to a 320x240 resolution, either on the iPod's own LCD or when output to a television."

The video image is clear, bright and surprisingly sharp, given the size of the screen.

Apple Ipod video:Vnunet

Still one of the best mp3 players, but the video appeal is limited
"
