- Apple has refreshed their product line with new offerings for the iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod shuffle.
- Apple claims that the iPod is the world’s most popular family of digital music players with over a quarter billion sold.
The iPod touch has new features including Apple’s 960 x 640 pixel Retina display, FaceTime video calling, HD video recording, Apple’s A4 chip, 3-axis gyro, iOS 4.1 and Game Center. All are combined in a thin, light device, which gives up to 40 hours of music playback and seven hours of video playback on a single battery charge.
The iPod nano has been redesigned with Apple’s Multi-Touch interface. The interface lets users navigate their music collection by simply tapping or swiping a finger on the display. Nearly half the size and weight of the previous generation, the new iPod nano has a polished aluminum and glass enclosure with a built-in clip, making it instantly wearable. Features in the device include Genius Mixes, the ability to create and edit playlists, a built-in FM radio with live pause and up to 24 hours of music playback on a single battery charge.
The smallest iPod, is the fourth generation iPod shuffle which has both clickable “ring” buttons and Apple’s VoiceOver technology, enabling users to easily navigate their music and playlists without ever looking at their iPod shuffle. The new wearable iPod shuffle is clad in an all-aluminum enclosure with a built-in clip and comes in five colors — silver, blue, green, orange and pink. With nearly 50 percent more battery life, the new iPod shuffle features over 15 hours of music playback on a single battery charge. It’s also the iPod for those on a budget, priced at just $49.
