I-Pods And Their Versatility In Displaying Media

By Cauldwell Pipps

The way we listen to music has been revolutionised by the I-pod. The CD (which is almost old-fashion by comparison) is slowly being phased out by the music download in mp3 format.

Though Cd's are still selling in the millions every week, for the most part they will be used once (to put the contents onto ones I-pod) and then will spend the rest of its life as a drinks coaster or simply a redundant disk cluttering up space.

Before the I-pod yes there were mp3 players, but they were nowhere near as popular with music fans, who make up a vast percentage of the entire worlds population.

It could be said that this is down to the user-friendly functionality of the i-pod compared to these early mp3 players. I think this is a fair analysis.

The mp3 players that came previously had only a small LCD screen (if they had one at all) and it was difficult to arrange information on such a small display. The I-pod however has a much bigger display screen, which can show track listings in an easily viewable way.

There is also a touch pad on the I-pod, which not only offers greater ease-of-use, but (particularly when it first came out) it was something the users had not seen before, or at least seen very little of, and therefore was something new and interesting.

Another great thing about the modern day I-pod and a reason its so popular is that it is not limited to music. It can support pretty much all media types, like pictures, voice recording, video playback and you can even play games on the newer models.

So to create fantastic ways to pass time when its refusing to pass quickly enough, or just for background music when carrying out tasks, the I-pod is the all-in-one accessory of the decade. - 2361
