The popularity of the iPod has nearly made the walkmans and diskmans extinct. The quality of music offered by the iPod and the enhanced memory capacity coupled with sleek designing has all added to the iPod’s reputation making it the famed music, photos and videos carrier. 
The iPod has come out with various variants and currently available are the four versions. The utility based iPod nano, the tiny iPod shuffle, the mega iPod classic and the latest heartthrob, the iPod touch. The iPod is guided through the iTunes software which is the interface used for including songs on to your iPod. A free version of the iTunes is available on their official website. Choosing the right iPod for you can be tricky as all of the variants of the Apple iPod are equally alluring. So getting the perfect one for you should be based on your usage and priority levels. 
The iPod shuffle is the tiny music device which can fit in anywhere. It is weighs merely 15 grams and the unique clip-on design will let you stick your iPod shuffle anyplace you want. The shuffle has a 1 GB memory which stores around 250 songs and is ideal as a gift or for people who prefer good quality music on the go. The latest iPod nano, i.e. the third generation series also plays videos and this function has won many appreciations. The nano series is priced competitively and the sleek designing has been retained coupled with additional functionalities. The nano comes in 4 GB and 8 GB variants and the latter one offers array of colours options with it. 
The iPod classic is the retained version of the iPod offering immense memory and larger screen display. It comes in 80 GB and 160 GB versions and is ideal for people who want to carry loads of music, videos and photos with them. The latest entrant is the iPod touch and has been instantly popular. The touch is replicating the iPhone, offering the same screen size, storage capacity, Wi-Fi but just doesn’t include the phoning capabilities. Such varied options and styles have truly confused a potential <a href="http://www.naaptol.com/buy-online/WO-shopping-best-deals-W67O/consumer_electronics/mp3_players_and_ipods/ipods.html">Ipod</a> buyer. Thus knowing your usage and budget you can opt for any one of them. If your usage is limited and owning a iPod classic wouldn’t do any good. Thus based upon your priorities you can narrow down to one of these sleek beauties.<img src="http://www.naaptol.com/usr/local/csp/staticContent/images/Apple-iPod-Classic-Sixth-Generation-80GB-1.jpg" alt="Apple Ipods" /> About the Author: Monty Alexander is a well known writer.
