Hi im looking for some help please, apart from the size what is the differance between these 2 ipods? as priceing goes the 80gb ipod is cheaper to buy than the 30gb one (£174 at amazon) and i dont really know why We have opted to buy the 80gb £139 after discount from John Lewis but is there anything im missing?

Thanks in advance;)

The 5th Gen is the older model and was replaced by the Classic, there is a slight difference in the interface, the classic has better battery life and is slightly slimmer

I have the 80gb classic. I can't fault it at all. Great battery life (better than the 30gb), slimmer than it, very good video playback, they've just upped the default max volume with a firmware upgrade.

My big question is... why? The 30gb is older and not as good. Unless you can get a fantastic bargain on one, there's no point at all
