Many people say that the new iPod Classic 7 gen isn't worth upgrading to from the previous generation, I'm one of them.
But
let me say first off it's a great iPod. The reason for those comments
is Apple didn't really do much with it. Sure it's now 120gb for the
same price as the previous 80gb, but thats its biggest change. I didn't
upgrade from the previous generation, I upgraded from a 2gb Nano.
The
new shade of black is a nice color, I really like it actually. The
laging of the previous generation in cover flow has improved a great
deal. Another cool change is Genius capabilities. For those of you who
don't know what Genius is, it's a new feature to iTunes that lets you
"rediscover your music" in the words of Steve Jobs. Basically what it
does is, you turn Genius on and it finds songs that are like the song
you are listening to.
Other than those things, not much of an
improvement. But if your upgrading from a nano or any other player, I
highly recomend it.
