Guess you could rig something up if you're willing to go to the length of swapping the Hdd though...

Now that this is available, why isn't there somebody offering a service to upgrade existing iPod Classic 160GBs to this larger drive? I'm going to continue collecting video, music, etc and when my 160GB gets full, what am I supposed to do?

Could be that before this happens there will be single platter 250gb drives or whatever and Apple will upgrade the thinner classic again, but I'm thinking the classic may be nearing end of life here as the iPod touch size increases as well, so there might not be a larger iPod for quite some time...

C'mon... isn't there someplace equivalent to all the Tivo upgrade houses like WeakNees and so forth for the iPod?]]>Sep 10th 2008 12:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/Sep 9th 2008 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/Sep 9th 2008 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/

Perhaps this is a semi-viable option to the current conundrum that coopertino has placed me in. Buy a 160gb iPod classic (yay ebay), and swap this drive into it. presto, 240gb ipod classic, although it will be missing the new genius feature :(]]>Sep 9th 2008 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/
I assume if you just backup your current iPod Classic 160gb, swap the drives, format the new one via Windows, then restore, that the new drive would work just fine. Possible that Apple's firmware wouldn't like the new drive of course, but hopefully not.]]>Sep 10th 2008 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/Sep 11th 2008 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/Sep 9th 2008 8:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/Sep 9th 2008 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/Sep 10th 2008 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/Sep 9th 2008 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/Sep 10th 2008 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/Sep 10th 2008 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshiba-announces-240gb-1-8-inch-hdd/ ipod Classic: 80gb Model Available, 160gb Model Available 80x2=160gb!!

powers of 2 for the definition of 1 GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and
therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity will also
be less if the computer includes one or more pre-installed operating
systems, pre-installed software applications or media content. Actual
formatted capacity may vary.
