IPods - The 4 Types

IPods have become a household name these days, with almost everyone who is into music wanting one. I’m sure you want one too, as iPods are just the coolest media players in the world! They are after all, apples of Apple’s eye, being the best selling item manufactured by Apple. So now let me tell you about the best features of each type of iPod.



The iPod Shuffle

This iPod is the cheapest of the lot, and has the most basic features. It is a small sized music player which comes in several sleek colors, incorporates 2GB of storage and up to 15 hours of battery life. Its controls are pretty simple, and it has a VoiceOver feature which enables you to "ask" your iPod to tell you what song is playing or if your battery needs charging. It is suitable for those wanting a no-frills music player.



The iPod Classic

Next to the iPod Nano, this is often the most popular choice among iPod users. With a 160GB memory capacity (that means 40,000 songs/ 200 videos / 25,000 photos), you will be pretty much carrying all the media you can possibly want! You can watch videos, play games, and store/view photos in your iPod classic, which means when it comes to features it is second only to the iPod Touch. Oh, and you can play up to 36 hours of music on a full charge. It is quite a sweet deal and is suitable for those who want to carry around their entire music library everywhere.



The iPod Nano

This highly popular iPod is another no-frills music player, somewhat a more advanced version of the iPod Shuffle. The latest iPod Nano has a 24 hour playback capacity on a full charge, is small (think a fraction of your palm), light and has a multi-touch display. This makes it a compact, sleek, yet also high-tech music player! For the fitness buffs out there, it has a pedometer built in to track your steps, making it a great workout partner. The iPod Nano comes in either an 8GB or 16GB capacity. Suitable for music lovers who want something that can carry more music than the iPod Shuffle, but is very easy to use.



The iPod Touch

The most advanced of the iPod models, this sleek media player looks a lot like the iPhone. It has a vast variety of features, such as a built in camera to take pictures and record videos, excellent gaming features, Wifi access, and so on. There are too just too many to list down here, but trust me, all those features are definitely worth the cash spent. It comes in 8GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities. Suitable for avid gamers and people who want all the extra features an iPod can possibly offer.



This simple iPod guide covers just the basics of what each iPod has to offer. If you really are interested in getting an iPod, it is best to browse around for the best deals and also read reviews to make sure that particular iPod will meet all your expectations. They are definitely worth the investment though, after all, an Apple (iPod) everyday keeps the boredom away!
