Title: Read the fine PRINT
Review: Do not buy the iPod Classic!! While this iPod offers the basic benefits of the iPod family, Apple has made one, Microsoft-worthy, change. The only component cables that will work (especially the video/AV/component cables) are the $50 (or more) Apple brand cables. They have inserted an "authentication chip" requirement into the firmware.If you notice, the 5th and 5.5 generation iPods (not the newest 6th gen. Classic) are more expensive for a reason: They're LESS RESTRICTIVE. After-market cables (such as Belkin/Griffin/Etc) will not allow video output from the Classic to TVs.If Apple introduces a firmware change to allow ALL video cables to be used, then you should consider this one...otherwise, stay with the 5th/5.5 generation units.
