Does random stuff add spice to
your life?

There
are those who crave order, wanting their songs properly sorted out
by album, genre, artist, and playlist. Then, there are those who
find order in chaos. If you’re one of the latter, then the 2nd-generation
iPod Shuffle fits you perfectly. Before the iPod Shuffle, it’s
usually the users who choose what songs to put in their iPods, so
naturally, they know what songs their iPods are going to play. With
the iPod Shuffle, however, users can surprise themselves by letting
the iPod itself choose songs randomly from the music library or
playlist. Using iTunes’ “Autofill” feature, the iPod Shuffle will
“fill” itself with as many songs as it can hold (up to 1 GB),
selecting them in no particular order. To make things even more
random and exciting, users can choose shuffle when playing their
songs. (They can also choose no shuffle when they want the songs a
bit more organized.) With the iPod Shuffle, music-listening is
always surprising and never predictable.

The 3rd-generation iPod Nano trades in
the slim design of its predecessors for a wider and
shorter one that features a 2-inch QVGA display
screen. You could say it was a fair trade off as the
3rd-generation iPod nano now has video
capability allowing you to enjoy your favorite
movies on its wide screen. Having a 3rd-generation
iPod Nano is like having an iPod only in a smaller,
cuter, more compact package. It’s available in
Silver with a capacity of 4 GB and in Pink, Blue,
Green, Black, Silver, and (Product) Red with a
capacity of 8 GB. Battery life can last up to 24
hours for audio playback and 5 hours for video
playback.

Would you describe yourself as trendy and imaginative?

For those who like
their iPods sleek and wearable, then the 2nd-generation iPod
shuffle is their thing. Measuring only 1.62 x 1.07 x 0.41 inches, it is so
small users can wear it clipped like a brooch, hanging like a necklace,
around the waist like a belt, or in any way their imaginations tell them.
With its different colors, you can choose an iPod Shuffle that matches not
only your clothes but also your mood. No wonder, the 2nd-generation
iPod Shuffle is dubbed as the “most wearable iPod ever”. |

Do
you want “a little bit of this and a little bit of
that”? |
|
If
you want an iPod that’s in the middle in terms of
both price and features, then the iPod Nano is for
you. As with the iPod Shuffle, the iPod Nano is
sleek and slim. It’s only a little over an inch wide
and less than an inch thick. It’s also available in
a wide range of colors as the iPod Shuffle is. And
more importantly, it uses flash memory, like the
iPod Shuffle, assuring you that your songs won’t
skip due to physical trauma. This makes the iPod
Nano the perfect companion when working out. In
fact, the Nike+iPod Sport Kit allows you to not just
listen to music but also measure your distance,
speed, and workout progress, among others. What sets
the iPod Nano from the iPod Shuffle is that it has a
display screen just like the iPod classic line,
allowing you easier navigation through the menu and
even slideshow viewing.
