Apple Geeks.com sent us over for a whirl the highest capacity available iPod mp3 player, the 120 GB version of the iPod Classic. In the era of the touchscreen iPods and smartphones, how is the Classic design holding up?

I have already reviewed similar solutions from Sansa: http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/?s=sansa
The player quality is simply not the same. I have seen Sansas crash, not display all album art (even if it's there) etc etc. Sorry, but there's no real competition for the iPod I am afraid. If you need a player that works properly, the iPod is it.

Hey, I can do that to!

"I have seen Sansas run great, play anything thrown at them and always work perfectly for people, etc etc. Like my boss. He loves his, and it even plays games and video via rockbox!"

Sadly, I'd have to agree with Eugenia on this one. My wife and I each own a Sansa View and they are one crash away from being replaced. They have given us so many problems over the last couple years, it's really getting hard to keep them.

My wife has to ask me about once a month if something is wrong with her player. Usually I do a system reset and it will limp along for another few weeks.

And the Sansa View will not take Rockbox. Too bad because the player could use it.
