<\/p>\nSo the previous post has set the scene, I have my mind set on the classic. Well I did have my mind made up until I tried one.<\/p>\n
I initially looked in the Birmingham Apple store, however they only seemed to have 2 units on display. One Black(dead) and one Silver. Also there was a noisy Apple TV demonstration going on. So with this in mind I decided to head to Solihull. After a brief, but messy nose bleed I proceeded to John Lewis. The iPod setup is fairly poor, so went to the Apple Store in Touchwood. The store was fairly quiet so was able to have a listen and play with a iPods.<\/p>\n
First up was a Classic, holding the thing seemed a little odd, it’s just like my fatboy Nano on steroids. Worse was to come for the classic. The first one I tried had a disturbing annoyance, I found that it was stuttering when listening to a track whilst flicking through cover flow. The other two I tried didn’t do it. Also found the classic experience to be a little sluggish in the operation, I’m comparing the operation to my current Nano. It’s nowhere near as bad as my old Sony hdd though, but enough to put me off.<\/p>\n
Then looked at the new Nano, whilst I found the operation of the device really slick (cover flow especially – I’m not a big fan of cover flow, but it shows how slow some ipods are) I found the design felt a little cheap compared to my fatboy nano. Lightweight is good, but this really is light.<\/p>\n
Then I had a play with an iPod Touch, probably my first real go on an iPhone\/Touch device. And yes I bought one (16gb). I may have dismissed the touch in the past, but after a play I really liked it. I could have gone the iPhone 3g route but my existing contract is for another year and I really do hate O2 as a network here in the uk.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Must test the unit tonight then box it up for Christmas<\/p>\n
I fancied some new Apple in ear headphones, but looks like they’ve missed the UK stores. <\/p>\n
