5G vs iPod Classic Screen Size / Resolution

Has there been in change in the screen size, resolution or # of colors between the 5G iPod (not the 5.5G) and the iPod Classic? I think there may have been a screen size change at least from the 5G to the 5.5G, but I'm not sure.

The iPod classic has a 2.5" 320x240 LCD. I don't know about the screen colors. Would be nice if it is better than the 64K colors of the iPod Video but I doubt it.

Enjoy life,

But what size screen does the iPod Video (5G version) have? Didn't they make it bigger with greater resolution when it went from 5G-> 5.5G?

No, the screen size did not change at all from 5th Gen to 5.5 Gen. What they changed was to go with a brighter screen that used less power.
I have not seen any indication by Apple's marketing weasels on the web pages going on about a better, bigger, brighter, more colorful, etc. screen, so I am assuming that is uses the same screen as the 5.5Gen iPods.
I figure if it had more colors or something like that, that would be one of the new and improved features they would be going on about.
