The iPod Classic is just like the fifth-generation iPod with video. The iPod Classic is much better because it is slimmer, tougher and has a better graphical user interface.
Some of the down side issues with the iPod Classic are that the video output now requires a proprietary cable. Also, audio quality has not improved, some older iPod video accessories may not be compatible, users are required to use the latest version of iTunes, which may not work on some older computer systems.
The iPod Classic is a refinement of the original iPod that put the word “iPod” on the map. It does offer great storage capacity of 80GB or 160Gb, a great battery life, and a wonderfully user friendly graphical interface.
The competitively priced iPod Shuffle has a simple user interface with basic controls, and its built-in belt clip provides a handy way to keep track of the player. The iPod Shuffle is available in five, metallic colors, and the package includes a cute little syncing cradle.
The iPod Shuffle however, has no screen, so there’s no way to navigate easily among artists, albums, or playlists. And it only offers so-so sound quality. The player might be too small for some users, and nonstandard USB syncing takes away from its plug-and-go appeal.
If you like your music playback simple and your device nearly invisible, the second-generation iPod Shuffle will suit you well. Especially if you aren’t going to be using it for video. But absentminded users should steer clear of this easy-to-misplace player.
The iPod Nano is one of the more popular models of the iPod. It’s small and sleek size are great for putting it in your pocket if your on the go.
The iPod Nano comes in two sizes, a 4GB model that can hold up to 1,000 songs and an 8GB model that can hold up to 2,000 songs.
The iPod Nano has incredible video features, built in games and above-average battery life.
You can’t go wrong with this one! The only thing you need to decide is what color and if you want the 4GB or 8GB.
