  iPods are in high demand at this time:
It's difficult to find discounts on iPods at this time due to the heavy demand with the large advertising campaign and the introduction of the tiny iPod Nano and the video iPod that will hold up to 60 gigabytes of data! Many stores are sold out of the nano and video models. The iPod shuffle is also popular being the most affordable ipod yet still having the ability to hold hundreds of songs. The iPod nano is perfect for long car or bus trips. Easily add an FM transmitter to your iPod and play the music over the speakers of your car radio system or any other radio. The iPod makes a great car stereo that you can take with you anywhere and easily store hundreds, even thousands of songs.

A good rule of thumb when looking for ipods or any digital music players is 1 song = 4 MB of space, also note that 1 GB = 1024 MB, thus a 1 GB player will hold approximately 1024/4 = 256 songs. Note that this rule is approximate, if most of your songs are 10 minutes in length, your player will hold many fewer songs, but for the average song of about 2.5-4 minutes long, this rule will work pretty well.

The iPod revolution:
The iPod, from Apple Computer, Inc. is a digital portable media player. Today's iPods will store music, photos, video in one compact, easy to carry unit. The new iPod is lighter and thinner than ever before and is the ultimate digital carry-along with a 20 hour battery life. The iPod is available in models with up to a 60 GB capacity. This is more space than the hard drive of many of today's computers allowing you a highly versatile portal media storage unit and player.

Basic Types of iPods:
iPods come in 3 basic types and can be accessorized from there.

There is the original iPod which features the largest storage capacity of all the iPods and is also the most feature-rich iPod.

Next is the iPod nano which is a mini form of the original iPod that will fit in the palm of your hand. This unique unit is about the thickness of a pencil. The iPod nano plays music, allows photo viewing and carries podcasts and audiobooks. The iPod nano comes in capacities up to 4 GB, allowing you to hold days worth of music, 1000's of songs, in a unit smaller than a cassette tape.

The iPod shuffle is another mini form of iPod that is smaller than a pack of gum and will randomly play up to 240 songs. To load songs onto the iPod shuffle, simply plug the unit into the USB port on your computer.

Older iPods:
iPods that are no longer made include the iPod Mini and older version of iPod Photo. You may still be able to find these iPods from retailers that still carry older stock or you can buy them used. If you're looking for the iPod mini, we recommend going with the iPod nano which is the latest version of the iPod mini. If it's the iPod photo that you're seeking, we suggest the standard iPod which is available in 30GB and 60GB versions (GB = GigaByte).
