Apple Re-invents the iPod
Apple has created a cultural icon in a very short period of time. Not yet an iPod owner? You are quickly becoming the minority. Designed with the ability to store, playback and switch out various media, the iPod line has a number of products, each created for a specific audience. Whether you need to store pictures, videos, or music, there is an iPod for you.
The iPhone is now the largest selling mobile device of all time. Apple have beaten all previous cellular phone sales records with their amazing iPhone. This device can be used for much more than phone calls. it can access email, the internet, applications, and many more useful things. It has become an essential business tool, like a portable office, for many busy people.
The iPod Shuffle is designed strictly for musical mobility. Available in several memory sizes, you can get a Shuffle with a capacity of up to 4GB. The newest iPod Shuffle is smaller than any previous Shuffles, and it even responds to voice commands. The earbuds are designed to perform multiple functions so that you can listen to your music and give voice commands as needed. They are a bit expensive to replace, and your iPod won’t interact without them, so treat them carefully. The newest iPod Shuffle identifies songs and tells you what you are going to hear.
The current generation of iPod Nano is the smallest and least expensive of the video versions. Available in 8GB and 16GB sizes, it can store between 2,000 and 4,000 songs or 8-16 hours worth of video. With an easily charged, long life battery, the Nano is truly portable. The most interesting new feature is the ability of the unit to recognize when it is on its side and automatically adjust its picture. Shaking the iPod will cause it to advance to the next song in the playlist. Sleek and colorful, the iPod Nano is a favorite among youth.
The Classic iPod is the granddaddy of all iPods because of it’s massive storage capacity. Available only in a 120GB model, this iPod will hold up to 30,000 songs or 150 hours of video. The Classic has a long battery life and great picture quality, so it’s great if you have music and videos and are going on an extended trip. Larger than the other iPods currently available, this unit can carry every song you own and still have room left for games and pictures.
The iPod Touch is the newest addition to the line. Similar to the iPhone, this unit lets the user interact through a touch screen. Available in 8, 16 and 32GB versions, this iPod is the pride of Apple’s iPod fleet. With the largest screen available in the line, this is the perfect choice for someone using an iPod predominantly for videos. Most people appreciate the versatility of the touch screen, but be sure you protect it with a cover; when the screen is scratched the unit loses effectiveness.
The iPod is well supported, easy to use, and has many applications you can add once you buy it. It doesn’t matter which iPod you choose, you will be delighted with it.
