Decisions, Decisions — Who Needs 'Em?

Why should you have to choose what to put on your iPod? With 160GB of storage, iPod classic lets you carry everything in your collection — up to 40,000 songs or up to 200 hours of video — everywhere you go. In a completely new, even thinner, all-metal design, this iPod is a modern classic. You'll get up to 40 hours of continuous music playback — that's enough juice to get you through your work week on one charge. This amazing amount of space is thanks to groundbreaking technology developed by Hitachi, makers of the iPod classic's 1.8" hard drive.

Food, Water — Who Needs It?

Not only do you get 40 hours of music, but the 2.5 inch color LCD gives you a lucious screen for watching up to 7 hours of continuous video playback. And you can load it up with more than that: You can put Podcasts, TV Shows, Audiobooks, and Photos on it as well. Scads of them. Gobs of them. So many, you will finally stop worrying about being stranded on a desert island with nothing to do. (. . . Or stuck in a waiting room, or trapped on a bus. . . ) There are even games you can play if you need anything else to do, thankyouverymuch. Seriously — who needs food?

Just Go With The Flow

If a picture says a thousand words, think of what all the album art in your collection might say. With Cover Flow on iPod classic, you can flip through your music to find the album you want to hear. Use the Click Wheel to browse music by album cover, then select an album to flip it over and see the track list. Use the Click Wheel to adjust volume, navigate songs, browse in Cover Flow, or explore the Music menu by playlist, artist, album, song, genre, composer, and more. Want to mix things up? Click Shuffle Songs. iPod classic makes your music look as good as it sounds, thanks to its big, bright, color display. Long flight or darkened room? Adjust the brightness for even more video playback time.

But iAm iScared!

Dont worry, its all completly searchable. Apple understands that with up to 40,000 songs on your iPod classic, you need an easy way to search your collection. That's why they included a built-in search function that lets you use the Click Wheel to type out the name of the song, artist, album, audiobook, or podcast you're looking for. iPod classic returns results instantly as you select letters. ( iTold you not to worry.)

iTunes Store Has All Your Provisions

The iTunes Store features thousands of free video and audio podcasts, including indie favorites and offerings from such big names as ABC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, PBS, NPR, and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod classic. You can even play video podcasts on TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable. There's always something good on iPod classic. Browse thousands of episodes of your favorite TV shows on the iTunes Store, buy them for just $1.99 each, then sync them to iPod classic. Watch last night's episodes this morning, or buy a whole TV series and play a pocket-size marathon.

iTunes Even Has Audiobooks

The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with thousands of audiobooks — including exclusives like the entire Harry Potter series — so you can catch up on your reading wherever iPod classic takes you. iPod classic recognizes where you left off and bookmarks your place. You can even adjust the reading speed to suit you.

We Aren't Playing Games — But classic Will

Put hours of fun at your fingertips. iPod classic comes with three games — Vortex, iQuiz, and Klondike — and you can download more from the iTunes Store for $4.99 each. All iPod games are designed specifically for the iPod interface. And all of them look great on the 2.5-inch color display.

And For Your Photo Collection. . .

iPod classic holds up to 25,000 photos you can sync from your Mac or PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full screen, click the center button. You can even view photo slideshows — complete with music and transitions — on iPod classic or on a TV using an optional Apple component or composite AV cable.
