Back in late 2001 the iPod was a groundbreaking system! That just seems like the other day that the iPod was launched, but 9 years have passed already. A lot of things have improved in the iPod through the years with amazing design enhancements as well as revolutionary marketing promotions which have captured the imagination of the public.

The apple company has genuinely been successful in making the iPod the number one electronic digital MP3 audio player on the marketplace. There isn’t any competition for the iPod and it does not seem like there will be in the foreseeable future.

Late 2001 designated the actual release of the first iPod and three years later in 2004, the iPod mini was introduced. This small system which is capable of storing equally as many tunes as its predecessor and was also much smaller and much more colourful as opposed to the original.

The Apple iPod mini definitely continued the tradition of cutting edge technologies which has become connected with Apple. Its storage capacity increased to around seventy five hrs of music while the graphic user interface remained exactly the same. Up to now the iPod was white. With the roll-out of the iPod mini numerous colors became available.

Several years on and with the advent of touch screen display technology, the iPod touch was released. Almost everything nowadays appears to be a touch screen technology and it would appear that it’s only a matter of time before keyboards become obsolete altogether.

The iPod touch really is a computer that fits in your pocket. The days are gone of the iPod just being a music player, they are actually now genuine pocket computers.

The iPod touch is now in its third edition. The outside remains unchanged nevertheless the operating-system gets regular updates Apart from the storage it’s remained more or less the same.

As memory sizes increase so does the capacity of the touch. Currently the iPod touch is available in an enormous 64 GB which really is an incredible volume of memory.

Considering the original iPods while only 4 GB, this is a massive leap in storage over the years.

With touchscreen and becoming the conventional method to interact with technology nowadays it’s surprising that Apple also have introduced voice commands for the iPod. This is certainly a cool feature, having the ability to tell your iPod what songs to play!

The voice control is still in its childhood but remains surprisingly accurate. I can only imagine in the years to come how much more advanced this feature will end up. At the present is more or less a fun function, but you never know what the future holds!

Something that lets the 3rd generation of the Apple ipod itouch down is the battery life.

The battery power doesn’t last quite as long as the 2nd generation. The reasons for this are apparent, the elevated demands from the faster processor chip and also the inclusion of technology like Bluetooth has cut the music playback time down from thirty six hours to thirty hours while the movie playback stays a steady six hours.

This is certainly just a minor discrepancy and the Apple iPod still remains the Top must have gizmo to own! I don’t want to call it a music player anymore simply because really it’s just so much more than that.

I cannot recommend the iPod touch enough, whatever you want to do with it, you’ll definitely get your entire money’s worth. And once you do get it, I’m sure you’ll be doing things with it that you never imagined!
