The original iPod style is now being referred to as the "iPod Classic." Actually, the 80 GB and 160 GB models carry that name. According to Wikipedia, these versions (which just arrived this year) introduced the classic name. The 20 GB 4th Generation (which is what I have) is not even mentioned on Apple's web site - much less its parent, grandparent, and great-grandparent. These have all become the Macaulay Culkin of the MP3 player world - they are simply overlooked.
Apple is, in a word, amazing. Their products may not offer more functionality than their competitors, but Apple has created a brand that is the industry standard. I mean seriously... how in the world can an iPod be considered classic? Blows my mind.
Take a good look at the current iPod line-up... it will likely be totally different this time next year. From left to right: iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, and iPod Touch.

All part of their plan to cure cancer! LB
For what it's worth... the actual definition of classic is:
1. of the first or highest quality, class, or rank: a classic piece of work.
2. serving as a standard, model, or guide.
So really, the name is fitting. I stand corrected.
LB... don't forget their plan to bring peace to the Middle East. It will happen.
Drooling over the iPod line-up...
You shouldn't cause your sisters to stumble.
I love the anti establishment company has become... so established.
The nano has lost some of it's "nano" quality. That's unfortunate.
Jennifer... you better watch out. Apple does not take kindly to naysayers. Don't say I didn't warn you.
