I-pods And Their Popularity Over Competitors
The i-Pod as we all know is one of, if not the biggest portable media displayer available on the market today. First released in 2001 with 5 gigabytes of memory which was an unheard of amount, it took the world by storm and launched the already well known Apple to new corporate heights.
This classic version has now undergone five updates and re-releases and is therefore in its sixth generation. The release of the latest version puts into perspective just how far the ipod has come from the 5 gigabyte model which only supported mp3 files.
The latest version can play most music formats along with being able to store and play back videos, games and images and you can store pretty much anything on it. With eighty gigabytes to one hundred and sixty available, it is basically, a pocket sized portable hard drive.
Over the last few years there have been different models of the ipod, the first of which (apart from the classic of course) was the ipod mini. This was the first to be available in multi-colours and was much cheaper than the classic version and so for a while, ipod minis were to be found everywhere.
Then there was the ipod shuffle, which was essentially a cheap version without the screen. The shuffle is a much simpler version and only plays songs. The lack of a display screen means that they are far cheaper to manufacture and therefore far cheaper to buy.
Moving on to more recent additions to the ipod back catalogue, the ipod touch is the largest ipod to date and has a full length touch screen. It looks quite similar to the iphone and some have even said that the only way in which they differ is that you can make phone calls on the iphone. There are obviously more differences than this but on first use of both of them you would probably say this is true.
So with its many models and updates that we have seen over the last eight years, the ipod is surely the best portable media device that the world has ever seen, or at least the most popular. - 18418
