Apple Ipod Nano - Why Bother?

The Apple Ipod Nano? Not another article about it! Well, fasten your seatbelt, because I'm going to take you on a nice literary roller coaster ride.

Huh? What does a jaunty verbal exposition have to do with the most popular personal electronic in the history of man? Well, before you go to dictionary.com and try to decipher the last sentence, I submit to you the following proposition. Sit tight, relax, and keep your ears peeled for some insightful remarks.

So let's get started. It all started when I was a little boy...or was I already grown up? Hmm. Now that I think about it, I think I was already in college at that time. Do you remember those times? Were you even born yet, back in the 90's? If you weren't even born yet, please click "close" on this browser window, shut down Windows (or Linux if you're geek-cool), and proceed to expunge the plug of your little computer from the electrical outlet. Because you won't even begin to understand what the heck I'm about to tell you.

You see, music was completely free way back in pre-historic times (a.k.a. the 90's). You could turn your computer on (all 10mb of RAM), go to an unmentionable site (with the initials of Napster) and get all the illegally shared music you can swallow in one day, like a fish stuffed silly to the gills with deep fried cheese jalapenoes. By the way, I just watched a documentary on how these things are made on the Food Network, and all I can say is if you're still eating them, I wouldn't bet on you if you were the only horse out the gate.

But back to my story. Or should we go back? Hmm...Umm. I think what you're really waiting for is some new, juicy news about the delightful gadget known as the Apple Ipod Nano. Well guess what. I've got some bad news for you junior. And you are junior to me, even if you're older than me, because I'm from the Napster era.

And the news is: the apple nano is one sleek piece of Apple gadgetry. If you know of where I can get one for free, drop me a line, eh?

10 Reasons Why You Should Buy an Ipod Nano

A trendsetter and expensive is what the ipod nano is to most people. It makes a statement that I have arrived and I appreciate technology to the fullest. To some it is just another music player to others it is the best.

Here are a few reasons why you may want one:

1. It is pencil thin and can fit into your wallet along with other paraphernalia.

2. Imagine a space of 2GB or 4 GB—this means you can store from 500-1000 songs. Pure listening pleasure.

3. The click wheel and color display take music towards new horizons---plays 14 hours of music.

4. Carries photos, pod casts, and audio books. You can navigate through many photographs using the click wheel. Photos can be transferred and synced with a folder using the itunes softwear.

5. The ipod can be accessorized using the dock connector and head phone jack. So music follows you around at home, in the car, and even while walking or running. Where ever you go the ipod will follow.

6. Its feather weight and so easy to lug around. The screen does not crack or break easily contrary to fears. However the ipod is not scratch or stain proof.

7. Synchronized with iTunes and the iTunes Music Store, the ipod can access the world’s largest selection of music.

8. The pod has a state of the art processor, system performance, and flash memory. The technology is such that it never skips.

9. The system requirements are everyday, either a MAC OS x 10.3.4 with aUSB port or Windows 2000 SP4 or windows XP.

10. Music is your whole life and pure unadulterated sound is something to die for.

Expensive, the ipod retails at US$199 for 2GB and US$249 for 4 GB. But it sets the trend and gives a vison of what music heaven can be.

10 Most Common iPod Repairs

The greatest advantage and disadvantage of an iPod is its small shape. For such a small gadget, the iPod holds can hold thousands of mp3 files. With its portability, the increase of mishaps is sure to happen. From common scratches to hard drive problems, an iPod’s biggest selling point can also be its greatest drawback.

Detailed below are the most common repair issues:

1. Getting Dropped: It’s as easy as giving it to someone to look at or even slipping out of your pocket. Dropping an iPod can happen anytime. This can result in minor aesthetic issues that can be ignored or to greater hard drive issues that have to be sent to a specialist for repair.

2. Getting Scratched: Scratching an iPod is as easy as scratching a cell phone. With its increased daily use, the iPod is not just used on occasion, but is a regular accessory.

3. Falling in Water: How many times have you dropped your cell in phone in water? Nowadays, dropping an iPod in water can happen just as easy.

4. Exposure to Extreme Weather Conditions: Depending on where you live, weather conditions can affect your iPod. From the large amount of rain in Seattle to the snowy weather in the NorthEast, or even the blazing sun in the South, any harsh weather condition can affect your iPod and can cause needed repairs.

5. Dirt: With regular use, dirt can accumulate in the iPod. Cleaning is needed in many cases.

6. Bending: Even though there is an increase in clothing designers catering to the iPod user by designing storage units in many jackets, shirts and pants, bending and cracking can happen. Many people keep their iPods in their back pockets and mishaps can happen when sitting.

7. Broken Screens: One of the leading repairs is LCD repair. Breaking or cracking of the screen can happen in so many ways, accidentally or even with just normal use.

8. Hard Drives: The most costly repair is the hard drive. For whatever reason, these gadgets can stop working like normal. A hard drive upgrade or replacement may be needed.

9. Headphone Sockets: With continual use, the headphone socket may become loose or even broken. Repair is needed since it is the source for listening.

10. Battery: With time, the battery life may become too short or even have battery malfunctions. A battery upgrade may be needed.

These are just some of the problems you may face with an iPod. With care and forward thinking, many of these can be limited. To lessen iPod repair issues, be sure to use a protective case and use care and caution.

Little iPod Wonders

It is no wonder that ipods are getting fun poked at them by movies this year. It seems as if the ipod is taking over the world. Everywhere you go you see them, they are attached to adults and children alike and they are all over the television and in the movies, it is getting a little insane. But it is not as if there is not good reason for such devotion to this wonderful little device. It might just be the coolest thing ever created!

Not only is an ipod functional and practical, it is cute too. There are basically three different shapes and sizes of ipod to choose from. You have the skinny little ipod shuffle, then the slightly larger but even thinner nano and the ever popular regular ipod that can actually play all of your favorite TV shows as well as your favorite songs. How is it possible?

It is all possible due to Macintosh technology, they obviously have the greatest engineers and inventors in the world working for them. I mean seriously, none of the other MP3 players out there can compare to the wonder that is the ipod. Not just in terms of how many songs they can hold but in the overall quality and look of the machines themselves. These little things can hold tends of thousands of songs and pictures and they are so tiny. AND they come in all kinds of fabulous colors.

Look at the ipod mini. That little darling came in pink and green and blue and all kinds of other great colors. Now the nano and the ipod they come in white and black. While that isn’t exactly a rainbow of colors they are still pretty darn hot if you ask me.

The bottom line is that when it comes time for you to get a new music player you want to get an ipod. It will hold hundred of CDs worth of music and the battery life is out of this world. You are looking at over 20 hours of play before you need to charge it again. Some of the other MP3 players offer like 3 hours of continuous play, that is all. You cannot compare the two, it is not even possible. Ipods blow all of the competition out of the water.

Just make sure you get the ipod that suits your needs the best. They all have their own unique aspects so read about them and then buy the one that is right for you.
