“One of the tougher decisions for gadget buyers this year is which iPod to purchase,” Eric Benderoff blogs for The Chicago Tribune. “The problem is at the high-end, where buyers can choose between Apple’s slick iPod Touch ($399 for 16 gigabytes of storage) or the massive capacity of the iPod Classic ($349 for 160 gb of storage).”

“That doesn’t mean the iPod Classic is not stylish in its own right. It has a new software interface, can play movies, show your photos and hold your contacts. Plus, it can double as a back-up hard drive,” Benderoff explains. “But the Classic is not nearly as much fun to use as the Touch.”
