iPod Revolution in Portable Music & Data

The iPod is now a cultural icon, and has become so in a very short period of time. If you don’t have an iPod yet, it seems you are certainly among a 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. Whether you want to store videos or music, there is an iPod to suit your needs.

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. Many people consider the iPod a mobile office now.

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. 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. Luckily the Nano has a sizeable battery which is easily recharged. You can take it anywhere. 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. With a long battery life and good picture quality, the Classic is perfect if you have a lot of music and videos you want to have along on a road trip or vacation. This unit can hold every song in your library and still have room left for games and images because it is larger than the other IPods currently available.

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.

iPods are reliable, well supported and have numerous applications that can be added after the initial purchase. No matter which unit you choose, you are certain to be delighted with your new toy.
