The iPod Revolution
The Apple iPod has become a cultural icon in a remarkably short period of time. If you have avoided the iPod so far, you’re in an ever shrinking 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. Regardless of your priorities, photos, music, videos, email, there is an iPod to suit 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 has full email capabilities, an internet browser, GPS, and so much more. 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. With even more advancements, the newest iPod Shuffle is smaller, more compact, and can respond 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. This newest Shuffle can also identify the songs it plays and let you know what you are about 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. The Nano has a rechargable battery which lets you take it on the road. The most interesting new feature is the ability of the unit to recognize when it is on its side and automatically adjust its picture. Advance to the next song by simply shaking your iPod. 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. Battery life and picture quality are important features of the iPod Classic, which makes it perfect if you have videos and music to take with you on vacation. With more storage space than the other iPods, this unit can carry every song you own and still have room for photos and games.
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. Many users also like the versatility of the touch screen, but make sure to protect it with a cover of some sort; if the screen gets scratched or damaged the unit is all but pointless.
iPods are reliable, well supported and have numerous applications that can be added after the initial purchase. It doesn’t matter which iPod you choose, you will be delighted with it.
