Hey guys,

I want to buy myself an iPod Classic as I've outgrown my Nano and want a device that can hold my entire music collection.

One thing I'm wary of when buying new iPod products is that a new 'generation' will come out soon after I buy it and mine will become old! Although it seems like the Classic hasn't changed since 2009 (I think).

Am I safe buying a Classic now or is a new generation iPod family imminent? And even then would there be any major change to the Classic anyway?

Thanks

iPods are usually updated around October.
You're right in that the classic hasn't had any changes for a very long time.

It's likely that either it'll stay as it is or they'll discontinue it altogether. I suspect things like cloud hosting have overtaken the need for large storage of music, but that's not the best solution for all situations.
