What's in a name?
Well, for Apple it's a very clever marketing exercise: the iPod classic is basically the fifth-generation iPod with a few small tweaks and a name that suggests it's one for the ages.
The classic model comes in two sizes, 80GB and 160GB (the 30GB capacity of fifth-gen models is gone). Like its predecessor, each capacity comes in the two basic colours - black and silver - and the 80GB model is slightly slimmer than its big brother.
Aside from the capacity upgrade, other changes are minimal. Most obvious is the change from glossy to matte exterior, while in terms of features you'll now find Cover Flow standard on all models, which allows you to "flick" through your record covers on-screen to select a track or album.
Apple also claims an upgraded battery life, rating it at 40 hours on the 160GB and 30 hours on the 80GB for audio playback.
