For Audiophiles on the Go, it Doesn’t Get any Better than Apple iPods

Defined Tag: Apple Ipods.

Since their inception in 2001, Apple iPods have been the product of choice for people who listen to digital music. Recently, Apple has branched out and allowed their iPods to display photos and play videos, but the music aspect of this digital media player is what lures hoards of people into the Apple stores to purchase an iPod. Its simple design and gigantic memory capacity have been two defining features since the first generation. Apple iPods have come a long way since their creation, but despite all of the technological advancement, the basic form and structure has remained extremely similar. The iPod motif has now been emblazoned on three separate pieces of hardware, including the video iPod, the “incredibly small” iPod Nano and the entry level iPod Shuffle. Each version is a totally separate entity, but each fills a niche wanted by consumers.

Starting with the iPod Shuffle, you have the cheapest of all Apple iPods. It lacks an LCD screen and the famous touch wheel that gives you control over all of the other iPod products. Instead you upload your play lists to the Shuffle and are given the option to either listen to them in regular play mode or shuffle mode. The iPod Shuffle is available in two sizes, one gigabyte and half a gigabyte, meaning you can have up to two hundred and fifty songs.

The next step up is the iPod Nano. This is the smallest of the real Apple iPods. It contains a full color LCD screen which can be used to navigate through songs or display photos. It is available in black or white and comes in a variety of memory sizes – all above one gigabyte. As an added bonus, it contains the new version of the iPod operating system, giving you powers previously bestowed only to Mac computers. At around a quarter of an inch thick and an ounce and a half in weight it is perfect for taking to the gym.

Finally, we have the granddaddy of all of the Apple iPods – the fifth generation video iPod. This iPod has a large full color screen to show songs, pictures, television shows, movies and video podcasts. Clocking in between thirty and sixty gigabytes, you can store enough songs and videos on this iPod to last you through a flight around the world.
