iPOD: Hear Music the Generation Next Way

Change the way you listen to music: get an iPOD!

Gone are the days when walkmans and portable CD players ruled the market. These days’ convenience rules and when it comes to that Apple’s iPOD rules. Apple has launched four different types of iPOD for every type of listener. If the word ‘unpredictable’ describes you then iPOD shuffle is for you. The iPOD shuffle can fit anywhere you wish even on your arm or throw the lanyard round your neck and jog along. This apart, the iPOD shuffle surprises you with random song selection from your favourite song list. So every time you go jogging you never have to listen to songs in the same order again. 

The iPOD mini, iPOD and iPOD U2 have more or less the same features but differ in storage capacity. Each iPOD (apart from the iPOD shuffle) has a vibrant display screen, 25 in-built thumbnails for pictures, photo storage capacity, phonebook, calendars, alarm clock, sleep timer, games, and text document which means that you can transfer and work on word/excel documents while on the go. It also means that you never miss your appointments or forget your shopping list. All this can be done via FireWire or the USB 2.0 cable. The difference between the iPOD mini and the other two is the unique voice recorder that allows you to dictate voice memos or record all your bathroom songs. So you’ll never be shy to sing again! Another minor difference is the size of the display screen, the iPOD Mini is at 1.67-inch (diagonal) grayscale LCD with LED backlight while the other two are at 2-inch (diagonal) 65,536-color LCD with LED backlight. Each iPOD comes with its signature white headphones and is easy to navigate; all you need is your thumb! Every single iPOD is compatible with MP3s and AAC formats which means that file transfers from your CDs to an iPOD is a breeze, practically seconds! Besides, you can download songs from iTunes Music Store which contains 7m songs, 11000 audio books and 3000 podcasts compatible with MAC and windows all exclusively for your iPOD. 

For die-hard U2 fans, yes you guessed right, it’s the iPOD U2. The iPOD U2 comes in jet black with a red click wheel. On the flip side it has autographs signed by each member of the U2 band! Plus you get access to all of U2s 400 songs at a $50/- rebate. All iPODs are matte finish in anodized aluminum and are scratch proof. And, the iPOD Mini comes in three different colors. Charge time for iPODs varies roughly between 4-5 hours. Besides, the accessories (which you have to buy separately) include splash proof (if you fall in the pool by accident), arm-hugging (for the more style conscious lot) and longer running time (incase you miss your flight in Romania!). So ladies, no more lugging around tapes and CDs, walk with the future—get an iPOD!
