David Hensley asked:


Nano IPod combines both the features of IPod shuffle and IPod- replacing IPod mini- and is the fourth digital audio player introduced by Apple Inc. Though IPod mini was in use, the introduction of Nano IPod was a surprise.

The main features of Nano IPod are that it has more flash memory storage than the shuffle and has a miniaturized version of the color screen and click wheel that are found in the full sized IPods. The name itself-Nano-suggests that the size of the IPod has to be small. The screen has a high declaration and allows one more line of text than the IPod mini’s screen.

The size of the battery and other few parts has been reduced in size, thus reducing the overall size of the IPod. The surface of the click wheel is textured. The main button of the second generation Nano IPod is concave. The Nano IPod operator with iTunes on Microsoft Windows and connects through the wharf connector as any other third generation IPod.

Also, the Nano IPod has a stop watch and a numerous time zone clock function. A special feature called the mixer lock feature enables the use of click wheel to lock the IPod and serve up, to secure the user’s calendar and other contact information. Nano IPod is the first IPod to possess a new lyrics screen which is modifiable using iTunes. It is also possible to organize music on the Nano IPod, browsing by artist or song and can also shuffle the songs according to the moods of the listener.

Since the flash memory is of the thickness and size of a postage stamp, the Nano IPod is a slender and longer credit card. There is an easy navigation on the Nano IPod for pod casts and hence, Nano is very informative and a communicative instrument that features ABC news and many more. It is possible to load as many as twenty five thousand photos using iTunes from windows and Mac formats. It is also feasible to view the photo slides along with the music. There is a water proof case, specially designed by Otter products so that Nano IPod can be used at the beach and on a vacation that involves swimming and other water activities. There are water proof head phones too, but the offer is limited only for a specific period.

Second generation Nano IPod is less prone to scratching and is durable. The sound quality of Nano IPod is extremely good and is available in colors like white, black, silver, blue and green. The Nano IPod is the most popular and recent models of IPod and the features and benefits of Nano are many. The popularity is still growing because more and more people find it convenient to walk with a Nano IPod and take music in their pockets, wherever they go.

Why Is IPod So Popular

November 26th, 2008
Ipod Nano
Dan Ionescu asked:


I have seen the bestseller list of Mp3 players for several big online retailers; the iPods were crushing the competition. The biggest Mp3 players sales were for Apple iPod nano 4 GB Silver (3G), Apple iPod classic 80 GB 6G (Black), Apple iPod nano 8 GB Black (3rd Generation), Apple 80 GB iPod classic Silver (6G) and Apple iPod touch 8 GB with Software Upgrade .

Apple’s iPod has dominated the portable audio market completely over the past few years. Giants like Sony and Microsoft where insignificant players in the mp3 players market.

But what makes iPods so special? Why are people crazy about them?

First let us see the current iPod product line-up (in 2008). The line-up includes the hard drive-based iPod classic, the touchscreen iPod touch, the video-capable iPod nano and the screenless iPod shuffle.

Design

“The product was elegantly designed in classic Apple fashion,” says David Carey, president of Portelligent.

Apple did product design from the outside in and that was one of the key factors for their success. This outside-in perspective helped determine a number of the components – battery, hard drive and circuit board – to be layered, one atop the next. That idea made the player look cooler and thinner.

Apple has successfully secured a design patent for its iPod digital music player. The United States Patent and Trademark Office on Tuesday issued Apple Computer a patent for the ornamental design of its third-generation (3G) iPod media player.

Functions

The new iPod includes an alarm clock function and the alarm sounds even if the iPod isn’t hooked to a stereo or headphones.

On-The-Go function allows you to listen to a particular group of songs on the iPod without connecting it to a computer.

Equalizer function. iPod software allow you to control the equalization or “EQ” of a song, you can assign that song one of 22 equalizer presets. Once you assign a preset to a song, iTunes will use it each time you play the song. When you copy the song from your computer to iPod, the equalizer preset you chose in iTunes is also copied, and iPod will play the song with the same preset.

Smart format function. If the iPod is formatted on a Mac OS X computer it uses the HFS+ file system format, which means you can use it as a boot disk for a Mac computer. If it is formatted on Windows, the FAT32 format is used.

Sound quality

iPod has one of highest sound quality for a Mp3/4 player. If you want to get better sound quality it is a smart idea to purchase optional headphones, which can deliver even more accurate sound than the recognizable white earbuds that come with an iPod.

Controls

The controls are backlit and touch sensitive. There is no longer a spinning wheel that collects dirt.

HDD

The HDDs for the iPods are huge: Apple iPod classic has an 80GB HDD; the new Apple iPod nano has an 8GB HDD and Apple iPod Video has a 30GB hard drive. The king for now is the new Apple iPod classic with 160GB (holds up to 40,000 songs).

Of course you will find iPods with smaller hard disks like iPod nano (4GB, 2GB) and iPod shuffle with just 1GB.

Battery life

The iPod uses the latest lithium ion battery technology from the leading battery manufacturers, such as Sony and Sanyo. When new and fully charged, the battery provides up to 8 or 12 hours of battery life, depending on your model.

Marketing

Apple marketing team was smart and used the iPod brand well. Apple Ipod had a successful advertising campaign comprising of magazine and television advertisements focusing on the target market (teenagers and young adults). Promotions. Apple iPod used a direct method to induce customers to purchase their product by offering any iPod accessory per customer for half the value price with every purchase of a new Apple iPod. This method allowed the business to directly measure the success of the campaign by observing the sales rate of the promotional tool.

The correct marketing approach made people fell in love with the iPod and offered a fantastic experience. Apple didn’t build just a brand, they have built a lovemark.

Conclusion

All iPods look great and use the latest technologies; they are very smart and trendy gadgets so almost everyone wants to have one.

Apple created a great product and used the correct marketing approach making iPod a lovemark.

So why are iPods so popular? The Apple Ceo, Steve Jobs has the answer: “With iPod, Apple has invented a whole new category of digital music player that lets you put your entire music collection in your pocket and listen to it wherever you go,” the Apple CEO said when he introduced the product in October 2001. “With iPod, listening to music will never be the same again.”

Ipod Basics and Purchasing Guide

Monty Alexander asked:


 

The popularity of the iPod has nearly made the walkmans and diskmans extinct. The quality of music offered by the iPod and the enhanced memory capacity coupled with sleek designing has all added to the iPod’s reputation making it the famed music, photos and videos carrier.

The iPod has come out with various variants and currently available are the four versions. The utility based iPod nano, the tiny iPod shuffle, the mega iPod classic and the latest heartthrob, the iPod touch. The iPod is guided through the iTunes software which is the interface used for including songs on to your iPod. A free version of the iTunes is available on their official website. Choosing the right iPod for you can be tricky as all of the variants of the Apple iPod are equally alluring. So getting the perfect one for you should be based on your usage and priority levels.

The iPod shuffle is the tiny music device which can fit in anywhere. It is weighs merely 15 grams and the unique clip-on design will let you stick your iPod shuffle anyplace you want. The shuffle has a 1 GB memory which stores around 250 songs and is ideal as a gift or for people who prefer good quality music on the go. The latest iPod nano, i.e. the third generation series also plays videos and this function has won many appreciations. The nano series is priced competitively and the sleek designing has been retained coupled with additional functionalities. The nano comes in 4 GB and 8 GB variants and the latter one offers array of colours options with it.

The iPod classic is the retained version of the iPod offering immense memory and larger screen display. It comes in 80 GB and 160 GB versions and is ideal for people who want to carry loads of music, videos and photos with them. The latest entrant is the iPod touch and has been instantly popular. The touch is replicating the iPhone, offering the same screen size, storage capacity, Wi-Fi but just doesn’t include the phoning capabilities. Such varied options and styles have truly confused a potential Ipod buyer. Thus knowing your usage and budget you can opt for any one of them. If your usage is limited and owning a iPod classic wouldn’t do any good. Thus based upon your priorities you can narrow down to one of these sleek beauties.
