Which iPod Should You Get?

By Claire Greenway

There's a variety of iPods made by Apple, all of which are completely different.
This article will sum up the features of each iPod, and hopefully shall give you
an insight into which iPod is for you.


The Shuffle: The Shuffle is the smallest out of the whole family of iPods.
Weighing only 10.7g, it's the only iPod which doesn't have a screen. It's
simply a keypad with the normal music control buttons.

Currently, the Shuffle is only available in 2GB and 4GB versions. Unlike the other
iPods, it has flash memory instead of a hard disk. Priced at about $60, the Shuffle
is the cheapest iPod by far. It's aimed at those people who want a cheap, simple
personal media player which is made by a very reputable company.

The Nano: The Nano marks the medium of the iPod range. It is quite small and
thin, and it comes in a variety of vibrant, attractive colours. It comes in
8GB and 16GB models. The iPod Nano also boasts its own internal video camera,
letting you record videos in addition to just playing your media. The only of
its siblings which can do this too is the top-of-the-range iPhone 3GS!

The Nano costs around $150. It's targeted at the people who want a very good
iPod, but aren't in such desperate need for a huge amount of storage space.

The Classic: Well, the iPod Classic is as its name suggests; it's the Classic
iPod. It's pretty similar to the first ever iPod that came out almost a decade
ago. Of course, it's much sleeker and functional when it was back then. You
can see the Classic as the iPod that boasts a load of storage space; you can
get it in 80GB and 160GB models!

The classic is priced at about $200. It's great for the people who seem to have an
eternal music library, and want it all there for them on their personal media player.

The Touch: The iPod Touch is different from its other iPod siblings. It doesn't
have a keypad that was seemingly a default for every single iPod. On the contrary,
it's completely touch screen, which makes it also the first iPod that has a
touch screen! There's a ton of features on the iPod Touch, from playing movies
to chatting to your friends on the internet. It has a pretty good amount of storage,
available with either 32GB or 64GB of space.

The iPod Touch costs up to $400, dependant on the storage space you choose, and it
is aimed at those who want to not only to have a powerful personal media player, but
also a little device that they can use to surf the net and check emails when they're
out and about.

As you've seen above, there's a range of iPods for you to choose from, all with
quite a variety of styles and price ranges. With all of these models to choose frmo,
you're bound to find one that suits your requirements!
