The evolution of the ipod

The Apple iPod being sold in stores today are nothing like the originals. They have come a long way from those seemingly prehistoric days. The new ones are lighter and smaller and they hold more songs than ever. Not only that but the new generation of ipods do so much more than just play music. They hold photos for you and they even play video with wonderful clarity.

Now there is the ipod, the ipod nano and the ipod shuffle. And even the classic ipod is different than it used to be, it now has video capabilities and the screen is in full color, what a difference!

So the trick to choosing the right Apple iPod is to decide what you really need in the music player that you buy. If you love all of your music equally and you want to save some money you can choose the ipod shuffle. This ipod has no screen and when it comes to playing the music you have only two choices, you can play the songs in order or you can have the ipod shuffle them randomly. Thus the name ipod shuffle. You cannot sort all of your music into different categories as you can with the other ipods but in a pinch these are great and they are super tiny as well. They are small, in inches only 3.3 x 0.98 x 0.33.

The next size up in ipods is the nano. This one is a little bigger and it has a screen but no video capabilities. It can hold up to 1000 songs though and it is super slim. It is thinner than a pencil, can you imagine! They are lightweight and can fit into any pocket almost like a credit card.

You simply cannot beat the old fashioned ipod though. Its new and sleek design makes it better than ever and with this one you can watch TV shows. Yes I said TV shows! You can take your favorite episodes with you wherever you go and it will be amazing. The color is fantastic and the battery life is a whole 20 hours.

Your video ipod can hold up to 15,000 songs and it can hold 20,000 full color photos. It is like taking every photo album you ever owned with you very single place you go. How cool is that! One of the best site I come across to download songs, movies and TV shows is there! apple ipod

Ipods have come a long way over the years and this year is only the latest in what is sure to be a long life full of newer and better evolutions.
