Thinking about getting a Prince Albert

[Mondo]

I have had my Iriver H120 for about 3 years now. Originally bought it to record lecture as it is much clearer than any tape recorder. Then it is also my MP3 player and portable HD sometimes.

At the time it was about the same size as the old Ipod but lately i am finding it a bit big and want to replace it with an Ipod. With a new 80G Classic now at around £150 it's actually cheaper than what i paid for the Iriver it is seriously tempting. I do have a few reservations.

1 - Can the Ipod Classic be used as a portable HD?
2 - Does the videos need to be in Quick Time or can it play WMV and Divx?
3 - What connection does it have? Can you connect it via any mini-usb cable or does it have a a unique connector?

I am leaning on the side of the 80G really as my music collection is about 30G, so a Nano is way too small.

Or would you recommend something else ? £150 ish that does the same stuff? I really dunno.
