The sixth-generation iPod was also unveiled last night.



Christened iPod classic, the newest iteration is a autumn revamp on the existing model. Two models will boost hard-drive capacities to 80 and 160GB, respectively, and, in common with the new nano, the classic supports a sleeker user interface.

Apple reckons that the 160GB sixth-generation model is good for 40 hours of audio playback and seven hours of video, displayed on the 320 x 240 2.5in screen.

£159 will buy you the 80GB model and splashing out £229 will secure the 160GB classic. Both will be shipping within 3 days.

The classic, by dint of its name, has seen the least change from the incumbent model, but why fix something that patently isn't broken, right?

I suppose it's hard to keep coming up with new features to a design that is already idolised by so many.

I like the look of the iPod Touch - and of course good to see the price drop on the iPhone - just feel sorry for all the early adopters.

It's clear that the 16GB will come to the iPhone very soon…

Is 16GB enough for a flagship product? I realise the limitations imposed by deciding to use Flash but I'm disappointed with the capacity.

I'd love to see more - but for the moment surely it's enouhg? :)

32GB would have been acceptable, 16GB isn't enough, at least not for me and I'm sure the same is true for many other people.

laze.
