So far, there were a number of Apple iPod. Now, with the release of the new iPod video, there are now officially three iPod models for the fifth generation of iPods. Models are the former fourth generation, including the popular iPod mini, iPod photo, U2, and 20 GB iPod now officially history.
The three official 5 g of iPod models include the iPod shuffle, iPod nano and iPod video. What is the difference between this new range of iPods and previous models 4 G? On the whole, the differences are:
Hard drive
Two of the new iPod models, iPod shuffle and iPod nano, are based on flash hard disk technology. This new hard drive is extremely slim and is shock and strong movement able to withstand. In contrast to the 4 G models, these make ultra slim the iPod shuffle and iPod nano and allow for vigorous activities, including sporting activity, dance, accidental drops, etc. Previous 4 G models were less robust and vigorous activity tend to cause possible malfunctions.
Battery life
Battery life on the iPod 5 g has improved enormously. One of the main complaints about 4 G iPod was the short Akku-life(8hrs) and battery life drained away quickly after heavy use. The new iPod takes up to 14 hours and has a better battery life.
Color is standard
In contrast to the 4 G model, where the iPod model was the only model with color, the new iPod nano and iPod video comes standard with colour display and playback.
Selection of video
Now, with the new iPod video, there are a number of activities, including data, music, photos and videos that can be supported on an iPod. Previously, video as an option was available.
Standard housing
The 4 g iPod included the multicoloured iPod mini, with a choice of pink, blue, green and silver. The only way for black was the U2 model.
Today the colors on black or white (except the iPod shuffle - white only) standardized. In addition, all iPod case has hard acrylic instead of the anionized aluminium for iPod mini and hard acrylic for the other models have been standardized.
However, the heavy acrylic enclosure seems a tendency to scratch used for the 5 g iPod models have reported how many iPod users sites. It is recommended that an iPod case or protector film for the new 5 g iPod immediately purchased. You will find here a good selection.
Compact bottom
The bottom of the iPod was previously a scroll wheel, which was designed and supplied by a third-party company. The new iPod Clickwheels are now designed and manufactured by Apple itself. The functions are similar, but users of reported better answer feedback.
Headphone Jack
Headphone jacks for all iPod models, including the first iPod 1 G to 4 G models, has always been about the iPod. The iPod nano sod have the headphone jack on the bottom.
What iPod model to choose?
This writing he has been iPod video only out for less than 2 weeks. The current range of iPod 5 g seems the most complete and versatile so far to be, and we can see that the 3 different models primarily geared to different market segments for iPod users. A basic guide to choosing the right iPod model can largely be classified as:
iPod shuffle
The iPod shuffle is obviously aimed at users, which have a lower budget or those that only have a occasional need for a music player. The shuffle comes without a display, and user can choose only listening to music in a sequence or randomly mixing it. Due to the lower price, this model has become a choice for those who want iPod for one, but possibly not the budget necessary.
iPod nano
The iPod Nano is now the standard iPod model with the output of the 4 g of iPod models. Now, with a size and thickness slightly larger than a credit card, this is an out of control of troubled favorite iPod model. Users have a choice of data, music and photo with this colour screen iPod.
iPod video
The newest kid on the block that is desired, iPod video, would like to see from those with a higher budget or video on your iPod. It has a slightly larger screen than the iPod nano and play a sharp 30 fps video display. With not many iPod videos to download not available yet, we need to see whether this model can overtake the iPod nano as mainstream iPod model.
