Weighing in at just over 4 ounces, and with a slender metal enclosure less than half an inch deep, the new classic is still available in two striking colors: black and silver. The 2.5-inch color LCD lets you enjoy photo slideshows, movies, and TV shows from the iTunes store or your own collection, and iPod games like Vortex, iQuiz, or Klondike.
Does the thought of scrolling through every song you've ever downloaded make you cringe? No need to worry. In addition to traditional iPod navigation, the classic includes Cover Flow, which makes it possible to search for songs by album art. Use the Click Wheel to flip through album covers, then select one to automatically see its track list.
Another feature of the classic is Apple's Genius feature. If you like a song and want to hear others like it, Genius finds the songs in your library that go great together and makes a Genius playlist for you. Count on Genius to create a mix you wouldn't have thought of yourself.
