With two of the best Apple products hitting the market at the same time, how do you decide which is the best product for you? The iPod classic is a lot like the Video iPod, where as the iPod Touch is a completely different approach. With technological advancement like never before, the iPod Touch is a collector’s item.
Let us talk about the iPod classic first. The iPod classic is really a classic and true music buffs love the classic because of its large storage capacity. The classic comes with 80GB storage capacity and 160GB storage capacity. You can store forty thousand songs with the 160GB iPod classic and include twenty thousand photos! Games, a calendar, notes, clock and audio books are other features on the iPod classic. Also one of the improvements made to the classic is the 2.5-inch display screen that makes watching videos much more pleasant than on the video iPod. The battery life of the iPod classic is nothing to joke about. The 160GB iPod classic can play 40 hours of audio playback and 7 hours of videos non-stop. The 80GB version gives you 30 hours of audio and 5 hours of video play back nonstop. The choice is yours depending on the price. The iPod classic cost $250 for the 80GB and $350 for the 160GB.
The iPod Touch is, as the name suggests, a device with a multi-touch screen. The display screen, which is 3.5 inches, makes video viewing or Internet surfing more fun. You can multi task on the iPod Touch just like you can on the iPod Classic. The touch is perfect for watching movies or videos and you have the option to watch them full screen or split screen while you are doing some other tasks. The touch comes with wi-fi Internet options so that the Touch is much more than just a media player. The only drawback where the iPod Touch is concerned is the storage space, 8GB and 16GB. The price isn’t too bad either, $300 for the 8GB iPod Touch and $400 for the 16GB iPod Touch.
So what you choose is really up to you and depends on your needs. The decision could be tough, but whichever iPod you end up buying, you will have the best.
