The Evalution of Ipods

The Evalution of Ipods over the years By: Connie Mac 71

Over the years, technology has grown, expanded and improved. There are many amazing things we can do now because of technology. But what I want to talk about is: The evalution of Ipods over the years. The ipod has been upgraded many times and each large change is called a “generation”. Each model has few or several generations.

Ipod Classic
The Ipod Classic has 6 generations. The first generation of the Classic was released on October 23 2001, Apples first model. Since then, the models have changed designs, capacity has become larger and battery life as well.


Ipod Mini

The Ipod Mini has only 2 generations and is similar to the Ipod Classic except it comes in 5 colours, and capacity is not as large. The mini only survives about a year before it is replaced by the Ipod Nano.


Ipod Nano

The Nano has 3 generations and has a similar design like the Mini, but more rectangular. The third generation however is almost shaped like a square, not like its earlier generations. The Nano is available in 6 colours.

Ipod Shuffle

The shuffle has 2 generations and was released around the time the Nano was released. This model has no screen at all and has a small capacity of 1 GB or 2GB. It comes in 5 colours.

Ipod Touch

The Ipod Touch has 1 generation so far and is the first with a Multi-Touch face. The screen is much larger than earlier models and has wireless access to the itunes store and Youtube. It also has a large capacity, with 5 hours of video.

Overall each model and generation has only improved and satisfied customers. Apples dedication to expanding and improving the Ipod series has paid off. By September 2007, the Ipod has sold over 150 million units worldwide making it the best selling digital audio player series in history. Whether it’s the Classic or the Nano that you like, it comes down to this:
SHOULD I GET AN IPOD?
