An i Pod is no longer just an i Pod, with the variations between models being enough to confuse even the most ardent technophile. Since the relative dark ages of 2001 when the first i Pod came to market, the i Pod family has grown by six generations and given birth to a number of different offshoots. By distinguishing each unique model of i Pod from others in the range, you can ensure that you are purchasing the right i Pod for your needs. The History of i Pod Design Not many people realise that the first generation of i Pods worked exclusively on Apple Macintosh computers, before Apple realised that absolute monopoly was not a business model likely to succeed in a PC dominated market. The second generation of i Pods included two separate versions, one for Mac operating systems and one for Windows. From the third generation on, all variations of i Pod could be used with either Windows or Apple software, and this is the position that we are still in today. The third generation also saw the introduction of a variety of hard drive and flash memory sizes, and the first real attempt by Apple to expand the i Pod range. The third, fourth, and fifth generation of i Pods all integrated the use of a dock adapter, which can be used to connect an i Pod to either a computer or a power supply. i Pod docking stations also provide a convenient way for an i Pod to sit in an upright position, and a way to connect stereo systems or headphones easily without having to worry about cables. The sixth generation of i Pod is what you will find in the shops today, and there are four basic model variations that are available to choose from. i Pod Touch This sleek new model shares many features with its cousin the i Phone, offering a touch sensitive display and a Wi- Fi Internet connection. These features make surfing the web and interfacing with music websites an absolute breeze, and are the perfect solution for.
