The second generation of the iPod Minis were introduced back in 2005. A short few years after the Apple Computer company surprised the world with it appealing Apple iPod Nanos to succeed the older Minis. Despite the fact the the designers of the iPod Nano took on the look of the full sized iPod, the end result was a unique attractive electronic device.
The iPod Nano measured only 80 centimeters thick, 3.5 inches in length and 1.6 inches wide, the Apple iPod Nanos were constructed to end up 60% less in size than the Mini iPods that it replaced. Weighing only 1.5 ounces, it can easily fit into your shirt pocket without any unwanted bulges. While many people would expect only a miniature version of the original Ipod, you are sure to be surprised with several useful improvements.
Although it doesn’t support video recording and doesn’t integrate an FM tuner, the Apple iPod Nanos provide a vibrant color screen, amazing interface, high quality sound and of course, a great design. The best thing about the Apple iPod Nanos is that they are designed as flash-based players, making it a skip-free device.
Maximize your Listening Pleasure with Useful Add-ons
As soon as you receive your nano, you’ll discover the same Apple-branded, white earphones. However, as soon as you pushed the on button, you’ll be surprised by the useful improvements of the Apple iPod Nanos.
The best addition to the Nano is the synchronization of Outlook Express and standard Microsoft Outlook calendars and contacts into your Ipod. You can easily scroll your contacts by sorting it using first or last names. If you’re a game fanatic, you’ll be thrilled with several games included in the Apple iPod Nanos. These include Music Quiz, Solitaire, Brick and Parachute, which are also included in the other Ipod.
Also there is a new addition of a stopwatch that is ideal for exercising. It can also be used by runners or joggers since it could record lap times, including time and date stamps. The Apple iPod Nanos also integrates an impressive world clock. You have the ability to show the time in either analog and digital, which ever you prefer.
There is a new feature called screen lock for security. This feature gives you the ability to program a 4-digit code to your valued music collection so it is secured. Yet, after setting the lock feature, you still have the ability to click on the “pause or play” buttons. When it comes to features, performance, add-ons, look and feel, durability accessories, the Apple iPod Nanos are worth the money you paid for them.

Apple IPod Nano - Revolutionizing the Mp3 Player World

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that the advent of the Apple iPod revolutionized mp3 players. The look, the style, the sound quality, the navigation, the features, the seamless integration with iTunes and other services, all these separate components added up to a spectacular and revolutionary mp3 player. Each new mp3 player that Apple has released has pushed the envelope for design and all around use. First they miniaturized the iPod with the iPod Mini. Then they miniaturized that, and by getting rid of the LCD screen were able to offer the Shuffle for unheard of low prices for an iPod. Now they’ve gone to the next level. The Apple iPod nano.
But will it really revolutionize mp3 players? Yes. And here’s why:
Size and Storage
Take the iPod, shrink it, shrink it again, and then shrink it one more time and you have the iPod Nano! It’s no thicker than a pencil and slides right into your back pocket without even noticing, literally! The nano is smaller than most other flash mp3 players, but has something that none of them do: 2GB and 4GB file capacities. No flash mp3 player has the kind of file capacity that the nano has. And what this means is that you can store a previously unheard amount of music on an mp3 player with no moving internal parts, i.e.- a completely skip free player.
Signature iPod Quality
Remember that this is an iPod, so you have unmatched usability and sound quality. The player comes with the Apple signature click wheel and navigation system. It hooks up seamlessly with iTunes and other standard Apple software. The sound quality, as with all iPods, is excellent.
Brand New Features
The iPod nano comes with a full color screen which can display multiple image file formats in a crisp high quality format. It also now syncs up directly with Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express for contacts and colander functions and to-do lists. One of the coolest and most useful new features the nano comes with is a stopwatch and lap timer. Because it’s small and flash based, the nano already is great for working out, but the stopwatch can record many lap times and then give you shortest, longest, and average lap, as well as your overall time and individual lap times.
The Cool Factor
What can I say? The iPod nano just oozes cool from every angle. It’s small and sleek. The colors are hot. The navigation is excellent. It can play music or audio books, display pictures, or even do both at once!
Conclusion
So what’s the nano done to push the envelope and revolutionize mp3 players? It’s made the largest file capacity flash mp3 player ever. It’s added a brilliant color screen to display images. And it’s added tons of neat new features previously unavailable on iPods. And it’s done all this while not giving up what we have come to know and love about the iPod: superb sound, navigation, and usability. There isn’t much negative to say about the nano. At $200 and $250 respectively, the 2GB and 4GB iPod nano sure isn’t cheap, but it is unmatched as a flash mp3 player and worth every penny if you want the coolest mp3 player around.

Apple Video Ipod–Why so Popular?
May 6th, 2008 Subscribe To Our Feed
Welcome to 2005, the year of the Apple Video Ipod!
Why do I boldly proclaim this year for the humble Ipod? Is it because the Apple company has thoroughly dominated the consumer electronics market this year? Let’s take a look at some facts.
First, let’s remember that way back when in 2000 said that Apple would be out of business soon, having been eclipsed by Microsoft’s Window program. Nevermind that Microsoft ripped off Apple’s idea for a user friendly interface. Billy was always a better marketer than an inventor of new things.
Well, “little apple” decided not to take this lying down. They decided to invent their own category in the field of consumer electronics.
Their strategy developed into being the complete provider of enternaiment.
Starting with the imac, derailed by critics when first introduced as a last gasp effort of a dying company, Apple started to reassert itself. Then came the Ipod, which went on to become the most single popular consumer electronic product in history. But this wasn’t enough for “little Apple”.
This year, the Nano was introduced, to a huge customer buying frenzy. Trying to find one was like trying to get tickets to a Beatles reunion concert.
And now, as if to finish off the year on a climax, the Video Ipod is introduced. The effect is to eclipse all other consumer gadgets, and make Apple the hippest thing since Bob Dylan.
The profits for the company are of course incredible. But what about the benefits to consumers?
Here are just a few of the things the Video Ipod now makes possible:
Unbelievable! And all in a slim desing not much bigger than a thin bill fold.
What’s next…a manned mission to Mars? Broadcast proudly on your Apple Ipod?
