The iPod classic is still around, and for whatever reason, they’ve pretty much been ignored since 2009. I mean, they don’t even have touch screens. I don’t know one person who has one of these things these days, outside of audiophiles. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to have 160GB in my iPhone, but I don’t really need it.
MacRumors and Hardmac seem to think that the iPod classic could see their storage capacities bumped to 220GB because of a new Toshiba Hard Drive. Sure, Apple “could” up the storage capacity of the iPod classic, but we’re willing to bet that the iPod classic is just as likely to get axed. We have no proof for that, but the only thing it has going for it is storage space. Sooner or later, SSD drives of similar capacity will come down in price and find their way into the iPhone and iPod touch.
If the iPod classic gets a strorage bump mid-cycle, it’ll be a big tell that Apple still has plans for the device. If not, the iPod classic’s days are numbered.

LikeSigh... It's amazing how people speak with such confidence yet such limited vision and insight. The Music Industry is huge! The Music industry is made of MILLIONS of musicians. It's NOT un-common for musicians to have ipod classics. I hope you both you and Apple realize this. If flash drives come down enough in price to have 256BG iPhones, great! If not, leave the iPod Classic alone!

LikeI only have 5 GB left on my 120GB ipod. All tunes, no video. That doesn't include my Christmas or Halloween libraries. I was looking at the 160, but it's really not that much more than I have now, so if 220 is just around the corner I'll wait for it. We used to take coolers full of CD books with us when we went camping. Now we just take my ipod. Since it's always in my purse that's not a problem. I always have my Opera 2s with me, too. And a small pair of speakers. Audiophile, yes I am!!!
