iPod is one among the portable media players created by Apple. Apple made its first announcement about the iPod on October 23, 2001, and later it was released in Novemeber 10, 2001. The product line-up includes the hard drive-based iPod Classic, the compact iPod Nano, the touchscreen iPod touch, and the ultra compact iPod Shuffle. Only the iPod classic stores its media on an internal hard drive, whereas the rest of the models use the flash memory. As the other digital music players, iPods can also be used as an external storage device. Read more to know about the iPod price.

The storage capacity varies with every model, 2GB to 160Gb iPods. Since their first launch, all of these models had to undergo a lot of changes. The ,most recent modification was done last year, and was released on September 1, 2010. The software that is used to transfer the music from the iPod to the computer is the Apple’s iTunes. Anyway, this transfer can only be done on computers that run on Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh operating system. For all those who plan not to use the iTunes or the computers, you can choose from the several open source alternatives. These alternatives also enables you to transfer photos, games, videos, e-mail settings, contact in formations, calendars and Web bookmarks to iPod models that support all these features.

For added information, iPod branding is also used in iPhone and iPad in which media player applications are included. It is said that iPhone is a combination of music and video apps on iPod Touch. Even though iPhone and iPad have the same media capabilities like that of the iPod, they are still treated as separate products. There are lots of different products available on the online stores. Check out the models, and read through the reviews written about the product, and then go ahead to buy it. Usually, if you want to purchase the Apple iPod from the internet, then I would check out the IndiaTimes, eBay, IndiaPlaza and Refiff for more details on the product.

Apple and its products have already taken the top place in the design and building sector. It looks like nobody can put a stop to the new inventions presented by Apple. Apple products have already become popular among consumers. You can find at least one product in every house. If that is the case, iPod still dominates the market. The iPod price in India is around 5000 INR to 20,000 INR. Thanks to Steve who made efforts to bring in such a product.
