With the different models of the iPod should I buy that? IPod shuffle 512 MB or 1 GB, iPod nano 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB or iPod, are called iPod video, 30 GB or 60 GB models to choose from. If you want to buy used there are the older models like the iPods of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation, iPod photo and iPod mini. There are shops that still some of the older models for sale.
Which one to buy, depends on personal taste, budget and requirements. First you
You need to know how to use it, and how much music you may wish to
You have.
A lot of people are happy, one or two albums playing on over and over again a
Day. I would be one of those people I would get an iPod shuffle. You are the cheapest
Apple iPod and also the 512 MB model stores still say 10 albums. The iPod
Shuffle is the only iPod that has not the dock connector. So, if you want to
connect an accessory, you probably want an iPod Nano. In addition, the iPod
Shuffle is the only Apple iPod that does not have a display.
The iPod Nano is an incredibly thin iPod. It comes in 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB capacity,
This is enough for many people. It plays no video, but shows your
Photos. Should one iPod you, that you always enter the Apple then
iPod Nano is your thing.
If you listen to such as I, and many different types of music and constantly like
new music you hear, do you get iPod, the 30 GB or 60 GB when you can afford it. 60 GB means that you
a few thousand music albums and some videos can be saved. Keep in mind that
Videos take much more memory than music files.
This is the only iPod that reproduced video, which is why they call it that
Video iPod.
Before the purchase of the model, you think you want, how you're going to use it on.
There are also many accessories for each iPod available. You can get a skin,
Cases, cover, bag, charger, speaker system, dock (for connecting to your home stereo) and FM
Sender (to the iPod on your radio receive), all types of headphones, cables, car
Adapter, battery and iPod third-party software, and so on.

The new Apple IPods of the fifth generation
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.

Cheap Apple iPod Nano
The iPod nano is Apple's fourth digital audio player combining features of both the iPod shuffle and iPod. It was introduced on September 7, 2005, replacing the iPod mini, which was discontinued on the same day. The replacement of the mini took Macintosh websites and the press completely by surprise since, although there were rumors about a new flash memory-based iPod, there was no prior notice of the mini being discontinued.
Work on development of the new design of the iPod nano started only nine months before the launch date. The iPod nano has more flash memory storage than is used in the iPod shuffle and has a miniaturized version of the color screen and click wheel found on the full-sized iPods. The screen also has a higher resolution than the old grayscale iPod, allowing one more line of text than the mini's screen. The battery and other internal parts were also reduced in size. The surface of the click wheel is slightly rough, allowing greater tactile feedback for out-of-sight operation.
Overview
Size comparison of iPod nano and standard-sized mouse.Advertising emphasizes the iPod nano's small size: it is 1.6 inches (40 mm) wide, 3.5 inches (90 mm) long, 0.27 inches (6.9 mm) thick and weighs 1.5 ounces (42 grams). Its stated battery life is 14 hours. The screen is 176 x 132 pixels, 1.5 inches (38 mm) diagonal, and can display 65,536 colors (16-bit color).
The iPod nano works with iTunes on Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows (third-party software is available for platforms that Apple does not support). It connects through the same proprietary dock connector as the third-generation iPod, the fourth-generation iPod, and the iPod mini, using a USB 2.0 port on the user's computer. Although it uses the same connection of Apple's FireWire iPod Cable and can charge its battery over FireWire, the iPod nano does not support synchronizing over a FireWire connection. The iPod nano includes a stop watch and a multiple time zone clock function. There is also a combination lock feature that makes use of the click wheel to lock the iPod, and serves to secure the user's calendar and contact information. It was also the first iPod to include a new lyrics screen, modifiable using iTunes.
The nano was launched in two colors (black or white) with two available sizes: 2 GB (roughly 500 songs) for $199 USD and 4 GB (1000 songs) for $249 USD. On February 7, 2006, Apple updated the lineup with the 1 GB model (240 songs) sold at $149. Apple also released some accessories, including armbands and silicone "tubes" designed to bring color to the nano and protect it from scratches, as well as a combination lanyard-earphone accessory that hangs around the neck, and avoids the problem of tangling earphone cords.
The iPod nano uses flash memory instead of a hard disk. As a result, it has no moving parts, making it immune to skipping and far more durable than disk-based players. The tradeoff is, like with all flash memory, it has a finite number of read/write cycles. Testing by technology-enthusiast website Ars Technica has shown that even after being driven over twice by a car, the unit's screen was damaged but that it could still play music. The unit finally stopped playing music after being thrown 40 feet into the air.
Although the iPod nano costs more than the iPod mini range it replaced, it should be noted that the iPod nanos are priced exactly the same as the iPod minis (2 + 4GB) were when they were first launched back in 2004. Unlike previous iPods, Apple is not offering an optional FireWire cable for the iPod nano (nor the fifth-generation iPod). The lack of the remote connector found on the top of the iPod mini and Generations 3 and 4 of the iPod meant that a number of third-party accessories will not work with the iPod nano. However, since the removal of the remote connector from the main iPod line to the switch of the Universal Dock connector, manufacturers have been forced to develop alternatives to accessories that used it. The nano also lacks the TV-out and voice recording options of the larger iPods. Apple has also said that, unlike other iPods capable of storing photos, the iPod nano will not work with either Apple's iPod Camera Connector or any camera connectors from third-party manufacturers.
Nike+iPod, released May 23, 2006, is one of the many accessories designed specifically for the iPod nano. The advantages of the Nike+iPod is to sync information including the distance traveled, running pace, or burned calories to the Nike+ website.
Electronics
The iPod nano uses general-purpose integrated circuits (IC) instead of smaller, low cost custom developed chips, possibly to reduce time-to-market. This design, however, increases the number of electronic components and increases the cost. Japanese engineers estimated the component cost of the 2 GB nano as between JPY22000 and JPY27000, which is high compared to the retail price of JPY21800. The cost of 2 GB NAND flash memory is about JPY14000. Apple opted for the higher cost 0603 (0.6 x 0.3mm) components, the latest surface mount technology, as opposed to cheaper but larger 1005 (1.0 x 0.5mm) components. In fact, there remains available real estate on the motherboard.
