[bc008]

80 GB classic. (now the BIG question, silver or black! )

Black or Silver? Is there going to be another poll??

From the photo's that I've seen, I like the black better.

 

[bc008]

nah i was just kidding about that being a big question.
i do like the pictures of the black, but then again i havnt seen any real pictures of the silver...

im leaning toards the classic, but the slow responsiveness and not so portability is getting to me.

lol what? not portable? that's funny.

well, although my grammar is a bit off, i wouldnt want to take a classic on a run with me.. would you?

it is very portable but i wasnt sure how a hard drive would act to bouncing up and down, etc.

My mini does just fine as long as I use an arm band. My 2G 20GB and 3G 40GB did not like when I clipped it to my shorts for running. After the memory buffer was used up, the unit would freeze since it detected motion and would not spin up the HD. Of course the 2G and the 3G were too big, imo, for running. Although the classics are thinner and lighter than previous models, it would be a beast on your arm for running. Aha - that is where getting a refurb of the previous Nano comes in. Can you really have too many iPods? Steve doesn't think so....

im just laughing about saying the classic isn't portable lol. but yeah I agree with the running. thats why I have a shuffle. instead of the armband or whatever for even a nano, I just clip it either to the sleeve of my shirt or the waistband on my pants (definitely recommend one if you work out alot, it's great and really cheap)


on a side note, the hard drive would be fine because the iPod caches the data to ram so the hard drive doesn't spin up that much.

Running with a hard-drive based iPod = no no. Pick up a cheap shuffle or something.

That's not about portability, though, that's about damaging the thing because of moving parts.

I would go Nano.

I don't know if it's me but I seem to have bad experiences with any portable product that has a hard drive in it.

In the end it all still comes down to how much space ya need.
