My first iPod was one of the original white (2G?) in 2003, and I've had Nanos and Touches since then. With the Classic, this is the first iPod I have owned where I can carry ALL my music with me. Now that is something special. I actually see it's non-Wifi / non-App / Music-focus as an ADVANTAGE. With my iTouch, I found myself surfing the web or on apps rather than just relaxing and listening to tunes.
I had heard the speculation that it may be discontinued in September, and that pushed me to buy one now.
(If the new iTouch comes out next month, I might buy one of them too, but for Apps, not music)
Whither the iPod Classic?: "
Dan Frommer wonders whether Apple is set to eliminate the hard-drive based iPod Classic next week. I wouldn’t be shocked if they did, but I bet they won’t. The iPod Classic is like the Mac Pro — not something that sells in huge numbers compared to Apple’s mass market products, but it fills a lucrative and important niche. Some people really do want 160 GB of music in their pocket.
