The iPod Invention
One of the greatest inventions of the 21st century is the
iPod, made by apple. An iPod is a small portable, walkman-like
mp3 player with a hard disk inside. Hard disk sizes vary but
come up to 60 gigabyte. A 60 GB hard disk easily fits thousands
of high quality full music albums. Image having all your music
at hand, no matter where you go!
Now let’s take a 60GB iPod photo, which has a lovely colour
screen. It also allows you to store thousands of photos. It’s
easy to use interface allows you to browse through your pictures
at an impressive speed. You can connect the iPod photo to
your television and use the slideshow. .Imagine what it’s
like to always have say a months worth of non-stop music playing
in your back pocket. Being able to play this music on your
home or car stereo .Or through your headphones in the train
or on your bicycle.
If you like an mp3 player at the size of a packet of chewing
gum, the iPod Shuffle is the answer. At the moment they come
in 512 MB or 1 GB size, and a 2 GB and 4 GB iPod shuffle have
been announced. Don’t be fooled by its small size as it sounds
just as impressive it’s bigger brothers. The iPod shuffle
has no LCD display like the iPod, iPod mini and iPod Photo.
The iPod mini is a smaller colourful version of the normal
iPod and come in 4GB and 6GB at present.
Not only the iPod itself is fantastic, but there are literally
tons of super cool accessories available for this device.
For instance, one accessory called Roadtrip, made by Griffin
Technology, is a dock you can fit in your car. The dock has
a built in FM transmitter and will send out the music being
played by the iPod through an FM signal. My car radio picks
up the signal and blasts it out my car speakers.. How cool
is that?!! You simply get in your car, slot in your iPod and
turn the ignition key and off you go. The Roadtrip draws its
power from the cigarette lighter. It can also draw its power
from USB. That way you can use it to route the sound of your
computer to your home stereo.
Another accessory for instance is AirClick, a remote control
for your iPod or iPod mini. You can even get card readers
so you can transfer the photos from your digital camera directly
to your iPod. How handy is it to have 60 GB of storage with
you if you like photography?
Since I bought my iPod I have been enjoying music more than
ever before! I would like to recommend it to any music lover,
its well worth the money.
