For people who love to have the whole world at their fingertips, or at least, all their music, the IPod classic from Apple is the product they have been waiting for.

With this latest version of the IPod, Apple have not, merely, sought to rehash earlier models, but, have taken the best features from earlier incarnations and improved them and have managed to create the sleekest, most statuesque version to date (think catwalk supermodel).

Made from anodised aluminium in one piece which looks aesthetically more appealing than previous models, the Apple IPod Classic is less clunky and less dated looking than its forebears.

For the first time ever, this Apple was not offered in white and was instead replaced with silver and, of course, the chic little black number.

However, it is not only superior looks and style that has the IPod Classic standing out from, not only, its rivals, but also, its forefathers because this Apple product boasts a massive storage capacity of 120GB or 30,000 songs, 25,000 photos or 150 hours of video and can be stored in any combination of the three.

The Genius feature of the Apple IPod Classic creates playlists, from within your own music library, which join complimentary song tracks not from the same artists, but, from the same genre, which helps create the mood you are looking for without the need for users to scour through the IPod themselves. Pretty clever idea or pure Genius, perhaps, from Apple.

The mechanical scroll wheel from the earliest version IPod has been replaced with a touch sensitive control that still resembles the style, but, more is to pleasing to the eye.

Great support for TV and video downloads and an improved sound quality makes the Apple IPod Classic top of the tree in this family. The  IPod classic supports H 264 codec and MPEG-4 and gives near DVD quality viewing, as well as, supporting many music formats, including WAV, AIFF and MP3, which will give you excellent scope when downloading from ITunes.

The Apple IPod Classic, the good looking and excellent performing member of the IPod family offers an unbelievably high quality portable music player that is, also, so much more than a music device and is available from Pyramid.com
