We all know the ipod to be the most popular portable media device in the world. First seen in 2001 the original model had 5 gig of memory and was only compatible with mp3 files but at the time, 5 gig of memory was the most anyone had every seen in an mp3 player so it was a monumental success.
This classic version has now undergone five updates and re-releases and is therefore in its sixth generation. The release of the latest version puts into perspective just how far the ipod has come from the 5 gigabyte model which only supported mp3 files.
The latest version is compatible with pretty much any file format as well as being able to play videos, images and games. You can put pretty much anything on it and use it as a portable hard drive and with 80 to 160 gig models available, you literally put anything on it.
There have been different models of the ipod released like the ipod mini. Although this was only in production for a few years because the nano model followed it which basically had the same key features of the mini and had larger memory capacity. The ipod mini was however the first one that was available in multi-colours rather than just black or white and was generally cheaper than the classic model but it depended on what size memory you wanted.
The ipod shuffle is basically a much cheaper version of the ipod because the classic or the mini would have set you back over 100, the shuffle was the ipod for everyone solution. It doesnt have a screen and so is much cheaper to manufacture and only plays songs, but for only a fraction of the price of the other ipod models.
The most recent addition the ipod family is the ipod touch. This version has a full length touch screen and looks fairly similar to the iphone. It has huge storage capabilities and some have even said (slightly falsely, although I can see where theyre coming from) that the only difference between the ipod touch and the iphone is that you cant make phone calls on the ipod touch.
So with its many models and updates that we have seen over the last eight years, the ipod is surely the best portable media device that the world has ever seen, or at least the most popular.
