Is there such thing as an iPod Classic 7th Generation?

Apple does not usually refer to the generation of the iPod Classic. The current version of the Classic was introduced in 2009.

There has been however, a revision to the software, the latest Classic can run firmware (software) Version 2.0.4 PC (for an iPod used with Windows machines) and you sometimes see it referred to as a 6.5G. My iPod Classic, which is 6th generation, introduced in 2008, runs 1.1.2 PC.

So if you need to ensure that you are buying the latest model, look on the iPod itself, or even ask the staff to show you. On my Classic, it's in Settings/About and I then press the centre button until I see the Version. My guess is that the newer iPod is very similar.

Here's a screenshot of Apple's page on identifying iPods:

Ooops!

(Due to an iTunes glitch, I can't put the image into this post. {You know - the one where, if you leave an iPod Classic connected to iTunes, iTunes iteslf locks up and doesn't allow image insertion in the browser, if you leave the iPod connected after the Sync has finished! Yup, I've reported it!}

I'll edit the post after re-booting my computer!

{BTW: my iPod is the 2007 version, not 2008 as stated in my previous post.}
