First released in the year 2001 by Apple, iPods are extremely popular nowadays. Basically, an iPod is a portable media player which can also be employed as a data storage device; it is worth pointing out that the data storage capacity of an iPod varies from model to model.
The full family of iPods includes the original iPod model (which goes by the name of “iPod classic”), a touchscreen iPod that is known as the “iPod touch”, and the “iPod nano”, which combines the most salient features of the preceding models. There is even a screenless model, namely the “iPod shuffle”. The classic iPod works by storing data on a hard drive, whereas the other models employ flash memory. Besides providing this background information and more, the Apple iPod site is the internet resource when it comes to buying iPods and accessories. The site also includes links that are of use for those wishing to download MP4 movies, and how to copy music from your iPod to your computer.
