Classic iPod: Have you been looking for a portable media device to take your music with you wherever you go? A portable media device can be a welcome addition to your electronics collection, because it allows you to keep your music close at hand without the need for carrying around a case full of CDs. But which media player should you choose from the numerous models available in the UK today?
If you're looking for a media player that gives you a large amount of storage space for your music and video files, downloads files quickly and easily, and is small enough to fit in our pocket or purse, then you might consider the Classic iPod from Apple. This tiny device is smaller than a deck of playing cards, yet it holds up to 40,000 songs of average length, or up to 200 hours of video, thanks to its 160 GB hard drive. This means that no matter where your travels take you (even if it's just to a hammock in your back yard), you'll never run out of media to enjoy.
Like most iPods, the iPod Classic also works with all of the various add-on devices available in the UK today, such as speaker docks, wireless headsets, and voice recorder adapters. It also interfaces nicely with your PC, Mac, or laptop computer via a specially designed USB cable. This allows you to quickly and easily download media files from your computer - if you store your music and video files on iTunes, any new media you have downloaded since your last battery charge will automatically be transferred to your iPod while the battery is charging.
So if you're looking for a powerful yet unobtrusive portable media player that can let you take your entire media library with you wherever you go, the Classic iPod is an excellent choice.
iPod Touch: Are you tired of portable media devices that only provide tiny screens to display your movies and picture files, because over half of the media device is taken up by the control pad? Then the 16 GB Apple iPod Touch could be just the solution you are looking for.
Like with other i-Pods, you can download, store, and play media files from your home PC or Mac. You can also control the selection and playback of your video and music files, and the display of your downloaded picture files, just like with many other portable media device. The difference is that, unlike other media devices, the 16 GB iPod Touch allows you to control these functions directly on the unit's 3.5” screen, instead of making you use a control wheel. You can even use the touch screen to access a virtual QWERTY keyboard that you can use to surf the internet and download new media filed directly to your i-Pod.
You can even enhance the iPod Touch's sleek design with personalized engraving on the chrome case - this not only adds a unique personal touch to your iPod, it also helps you identify and claim your iPod Touch if it is ever stolen or misplaced.
iPod Nano 4GB: Have you been looking for a powerful yet inexpensive way to download video and movie files from your PC or Mac to a portable media device so you can take your movies and music with you wherever you go? Then a 4 GB Apple iPod Nano might just be the solution you have been searching for.
These iPods cost less than £100, yet give you the power to download, store, and play up to 1,000 songs or 2.5 hours of video on a portable media device that is smaller than a credit card.
Downloading music to your iPod Nano is a very simple task - if you already have your files stored on iTunes, then all you will need to do is connect your i-Pod to your pC or Mac via a USB cable, and iTunes will download your library of media files while your iPod's battery is being charged. When you reconnect your i-Pod later to recharge the battery, iTunes will check for updates to your media library, and download any new files that you have purchased since the last time you charged your iPod.
With the optional engraving feature, you can have your name or a personalized message engraved on your iPod's case, to make your i-Pod even more uniquely your own.
iPod Nano 8GB: There are many types of portable media players for sale today that can download and play music files from your PC or Mac. However, there are far fewer that will also allow you to download and play video files. Add affordability to the mix, and you will be hard pressed to find a portable media device that meets your needs. However, there is one media player that gives you both affordability and video playback capability - the 8 GB Apple iPod Nano.
These iPods cost under £100, yet offer superior music and video storage - you can store up to 2,000 songs or up to 5 hours of video on an 8 GB iPod Nano at once, giving you plenty of media to choose from while you are traveling to work or school, waiting at the airport for a flight, or just relaxing in the evening at home.
Now, you can also choose the color of your iPod Nano's case, giving you the option to personalize your iPod - cases are available in white, blue, red, green, and black. This not only gives you stylish options for your iPod, it also helps you to identify your iPod if you ever misplace it.
iPod Shuffle: Are you searching for an portable media device that will allow you download music from your PC or Mac and play it on the go, while not ruining your budget? Then one of the least expensive, yet powerful options, is the Apple iPod Shuffle.
These iPods give you the same essential functions as the iPOd Nano or the iPod Classic - the ability to quickly and easily download music from your Mac or PC via a USB cable that connects the two - but with one significant difference: The iPod Shuffle randomly selects the songs that are stored on its hard drive, and plays them as they come up.
This can be a great option for people that enjoy a variety of music, but don't have a particular need to hear songs from a certain artist, album, or genre. It can also be a great option for long bus or train rides, where the variety in music selections can help keep your mind occupied.
At less than £50, the iPod Shuffle also makes a great gift for students or other people on your birthday or holiday shopping list. At that price, you can afford to give a gift that your friends and family will be able to enjoy for years to come!
