Thinking About Getting an Ipod? Now is the time.


Apple released so many new Ipods last week that it's hard to keep track of them all. I will review everything except the shuffle which is the same as the previous one but with a new brushed metal finish.  This article is focused on the Ipod Classic, Ipod Nano and the Ipod Touch.


Let's start with what everyone wants to know about. The Ipod Touch, available later this month, it is essentially the iPhone without the phone. This new Ipod contains the usual Calendar, Clock and other small apps. But now, with this Ipod, you have the ability to browse the web at any Wifi hotspot, which is awesome and very useful. Sure other products can do it but nothing ever has done it as beautifully as this. And of course you have the smooth touch screen interface, and, you can shop the Itunes store right on the phone or watch you tube videos. It's available in 8- and 16-gigabyte models, for $300 and $400.

Ipod Classic now has a brushed metal finish and comes in a HUGE 80 or 160 GB drive version. This is good for audiophiles who have a CD Collection of 40,000 Songs that they want want to back up. Some may think the Ipod touch is nice, but the hard drive space is hardly hold much in comparison.

The Ipod Nano now has the ability to play video on on it's 2.5 inch screen. But it's a little wider now, which makes it stand out a bit from its brethren.

So here's the run down: Whether you like tiny size of the Shuffle or Nano, high storage of the iPod Classic, or the touch screen wireless Internet features of the Ipod Touch, there is one to satisfy everyone's need.
