The iPod has become the must-have fashion and gadget item for a full generation. Having an iPod gives the wearer entree to many social activities and groups. That little white wire immediately identifies who can join and who may get a cooler reception.

Usually when it comes to consumer electronics my preference is to buy used or refurbished. In the case of this item, for this occasion, a refurbished iPod will certainly do the job - and at a lower price. Like most parents in North America, when it comes to getting gifts for our kids we are always inclined to get the newest, or the hottest, or the flashiest-and pay . But there are good reasons to consider buying a refurbished iPod, and here are three of them.

Quality Assurance

Refurbished iPods start out as an item returned to the store under Apple's Return and . It is then returned to Apple. At Apple it undergoes a stringent process regardless of why it was returned. So if a was returned because someone wanted a black nano and got a pink nano it will still undergo the same refurbishment process. This means that each and every returned iPod is fully tested, refurbished with Apple parts where necessary, is thoroughly cleaned and then inspected. This means that the refurbished iPod has had the benefit of individual attention and its quality is assured.

The One-Year

The refurbished iPod has had the benefit of being thoroughly checked out by Apple technicians. As a result it is covered by the -Year Warranty. So if you were to buy a refurbished iPod, you won't have to worry about any defects - just return it and the Apple warranty will take care of the rest.

Good as New

In addition to all of this, a refurbished iPod leaves the factory looking like a new iPod in every way. It is repackaged with the appropriate manuals, cables, software,etc. and in new boxes. It even has new parts and serial numbers. So when your teenager receives it, it'll be like it had been just purchased from a store. And they can go back to school with a like-new Apple iPod.

Price

Most people would expect that given all of this individual attention, the refurbished iPod would be priced at the regular price. The fact of the matter is that these units are resold at a discounted price. So someone buying a refurbished iPod will receive a fully inspected, warranted, and re-packaged MP3 player at a discounted price.

Back to school can be pricey enough. If your child has been dropping hints about an iPod, then the smart thing to do is to look into a refurbished iPod first.Jack Spence is a Financial Adviser and usually writes on business and financial matters.

*Moving your songs to the iPod is as easy as copy a file to a disk

*The greatest of an iPod is its small shape.

And there are many more features to mention.

Here is a surprising statistic that you may find of interest: Apple's iPod is turning 5. That's right, the iPod's development dates back to 2001. In that short time it has become such a huge success that some people have predicted that in the future Apple will be more of a music company than a computer company. Well, that remains to be seen, but it could happen.

But one thing is for sure, the iPod is still in the prime of its life and has many years ahead of it even without the upgrades and updates that are sure to come. Add the future improvements to the mix and we have a product that will be with us for many years to come. An iPod is many things to many people, but it can be much more than most people realize.

So, do you have your iPod yet? If not, be sure to do your homework and determing how you will use yours. There are other MP3 players out there, but if you are fashion-concious, the Ipod is your choice.

In fact, a person around the world search for iphone news even before the phone was launched last June.

When the rumors first came out that s' Apple will be issuing an iPod with call and SMS capabilities, a lot of people have started calling it an iphone. With no official iphone news from Apple, many bloggers and tech enthusiasts have started discussing about the then-to-be-launched iphone. Soon, more iphone news was published in the Internet.

Truth be told, when Apple made the iphone available to public that very historic Friday in June, iphone news was indeed big news! Customers lined up for the iphone launch. The earliest was Monday, 4-days before the official launch. iphone news has it that many were excited with the product that combines an iPod, amobile phone, and even a into one.

Love the Latest iphone News

Until today, Apple has never failed to give the and even those who think the cellphone is just hype with all the iphone news they want. The first week of September saw the release of Apple's newest iPod models: the clip-on shuffle in new colors, the new fatty iPod Nano, the iPod classic, and the iPod Touch. The announcement proved to bring another Apple sensation in the media and the world. Just like iphone news, reports on the newest iPods are taking the world by storm.

However, early iphone adapters are disappointed with Steve Job's statement that the iPone's price will go down by almost $200, 3 months after they bought the $599 Apple phone. The change in price came with the release of iPod touch---an iphone without the phone. But 2 days after the announcement during Apple's The Special Event, Steve Job's sent out an open letter to the iphone owners that they will be receiving a $100 store credit reward. Now, the iphone owners are more than happy with the rebate after crying foul over the price cut.

Over the past few months of iphone news history, it is easy to note that Apple iphone is not just hype nor hysteria. It can be considered as a breakthrough gadget because it paved the way for many new hi-tech gadgets such as touchscreen phones, touchscreen MP3 players, and of course, the new iPods. http://www.the-iphone.biz http://www.the-iphone.biz ]]> A Trip Down Memory Lane - Sony Walkman To Apple iPod http://www.artwoo.com/article/a-trip-down-memory-lane-sony-walkman-to-apple-ipod http://www.artwoo.com/article/a-trip-down-memory-lane-sony-walkman-to-apple-ipod#comments Tue, 04 Dec 2007 06:20:01 +0000 sony walkmanapple ipodapple computersthat implies thattime capsulephenomenonparents http://www.artwoo.com/article/a-trip-down-memory-lane-sony-walkman-to-apple-ipod Sony Walkman. Now if you are not old enough, just ask your or even an older brother or sister. What you will see is this kind of smile come over their faces. Boy, does time fly and technology goes even faster.

You see, if you lived back in the 1980's, the Sony Walkman was the coolest thing on the planet. Now if you did live back then, you probably owned one of these. This product was the rave. This product was everywhere, in the airports, the malls, on buses, everywhere. You would see the kids in the back seat of the family car, listening to their own thing, using the Sony Walkman. Their parents would be listening to something else (Dean Martin or Perry Como), which the kids hated.

A is a term something is here today and then gone tomorrow. The Walkman was beyond a phenomenon, it was a mainstay. It was a staple of the society in which it was introduced. If there was a created to represent the 1980's, the Walkman would have to be included. If you were to not include it, would be the same thing as discussing technology of the 21st century and leaving out the part about the internet.

Now for the next generation of personal entertainment devices, from the Walkman to the iPod. I am not sure how you could avoid not knowing about the , unless you happen to be living in that time capsule we talked about earlier. So, you have seen them, they are everywhere (sound familiar?). If you ask 10 people to explain what an iPod is, you'll likely receive 10 different answers; and all of them will likely contain some element of fact and logic. Introduced by in 2001, the iPod is technically defined as a portable music player; and even this doesn't do it justice. Today it is so much more.

Now the Walkman was really for the kids, that is who mainly used it. Not today and the iPod. It is not just for kids anymore. You see more than just kids walking around with these little white wires sticking out of there ears.

The Apple iPod is a truly amazing product. It has crossed the demographic consumer lines. You see people of all ages wearing these things: from the teachers, the kids (big and small) to the senior citizens, the athletes who manage to keep the ear buds in place despite doing whatever there sport happens to be.

Now, don't panic if you haven't entered the iPod country yourself. There are so many to chose from: the iPod classic, iPod shuffle, iPod nano, the iPod mini and so much more. And lets not forget about all the iPod accessories that go along with this. Though the iPod are so incredibly popular, there are still enough people out there who haven't tried one yet. And there are still people out there who have the iPod and haven't even taken it out of first gear yet. Why is this?

The reason is because technology can seem confusing and despite its small size, figuring out the in's and the outs of the iPod can seem intimidating and time consuming. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. The iPod is built around the reputation of Apple which is base things on simplicity and ease of use. Just like the Mac computer. The iPod is as easy to use as a DVD player, or maybe even easier.

In closing here are some facts about the Apple iPod that you may not be aware of. I am sure you know this that the iPod is the #1 selling digital music device. What does it take to be the #1 selling device in this competitive marketplace? Here are some facts. Since 2001 there have been 110 million devices sold world wide. That is:

18 million devices/year 1.527 million/month 50,228/day 2093/hr 35/min

Now if that does not make you go WOW, to the Apple iPod popularity, I am not sure what would. It's no wonder, given these awesome sales total, that the question most people ask these days isn't: are you getting an iPod, but rather: where is your iPod?

Most of the iPod movie can convert most types of movie files such as AVI, MPEG, WMV, MOV, MP4, RM, RMVB, H.264, VOB or DivX formats into the MPEG-4 video format that the iPod uses.

In addition to just converting the format, the system must also the resolution of the iPod movie player. The typical resolution for the iPod display screen is 640 by 480 for optimum viewing and clarity of picture. Without the appropriate , the picture would be highly distorted. Other resolutions are possible and the software application will usually optimize the file for viewing, selecting the appropriate resolution.

There is also a great program offered by Apple, called 7 Pro, that allows you to use home videos and videos that are not professionally made and convert them to play on your iPod, just like an iPod movie that you can download.

Once the movie is selected you will again need to use the drop down box and select the export feature, then click on Movie to iPod and let the computer do the rest.

A scrolling bar will keep you informed of the transfer process and will allow you to see how much more time is required for the transfer to occur.

I don't have one, yet. My first taste of it came when my girlfriend got one, and asked if I would set it up for her using my computer. Wearing those now immediately recognizable hip cream coloured headphones, I could feel the eyes of every have-not-an-iPod on me with curiosity and maybe a little jealousy. I even started walking differently. Listening to , then , and then some Bob Marley on my way to school, there was more spring in my step, and I sat through class in a much better mood than usual. For a mere two days it was in my possession and immediately I could feel myself being sucked into its cult.

And why wouldn't you' An iPod lets you put 10,000 songs inside something the size of a pack of cigarettes. Gone are the heavy, fragile CD cases and the Discman that skips after each step.

Is the iPod changing the way we ' Undeniably. With an iPod, we can take our music anywhere, and not just one album like we could with the walkman. Now we can carry our entire everywhere we go. It can play mixes at parties. You can bring it on the commute to work or for a jog. You can save on it and photos for that matter. Don't like a particular song on an album' Delete it. Thanks to the iPod, music has become an even bigger part of our lives because now it's just a click away, and it's exactly how we want it.

Apart from the possibility of our entire collections being with us at all times, the iPod's capabilities have done something even better. By being able to store over 700 albums, the iPod is encouraging us to try types of music we might not have listened to before. When burning a CD to an iPod takes a short few minutes, what's there to lose'

But is it all just a trend' Doubtful, especially with people spending on average 100 pounds on iPod accessories. It's difficult to picture something people now say they can't live without vanishing, unless Apple CEO Steve Jobs finds another way to outdo himself yet again. And on that note now Apple has come out with the smaller, cheaper version of the iPod called the iPod shuffle. Will it have the same impact as its predecessor' Only time will tell.

However, when the was launched Apple started offering iTunes for Windows XP. This was, of course, logical since Apple knew how small of the market share Mac users are. By offering iTunes to everyone including PC users, the market of iTunes have of course broadened as well.

iTunes for Windows XP Enhances iPod Use

If you are a PC user and you have an iPod, you can easily sync your to your iPod as often as you want. You can buy individual songs and albums from the iTunes music store. The more songs you have on iTunes the more enjoyable.

Well, using iTunes is easy because it's easy to navigate and its interface is very straightforward. And yet it still comes stylish and easy to the eyes. There are actually three parts of it. On the left side, you'll see your music library and playlist tools; then the main part of it in the middle is the list of the songs you have in your PC. And on the top, you have your playback and search tools. You will truly appreciate the ease especially when you have hundreds or thousands of songs on your playlist.

through iTunes Means Buying Better

On the other hand, what's good about the iTunes music store is that you can listen to a 30-second sample of a song first before you actually buy it. This is quite a very useful tool so you can ascertain for yourself if you will really like the song. While some would argue that hearing the complete song first is needed, the 30-second sample is highly appreciated by most. Another thing you have to really like is that songs bought from iTunes can shared up to 3 computers in your local network. You can also copy the song to and fro your computer and your iPod as many times as you like. Not only that you can burn them into CDs up to 10 times.

When you buy songs from iTunes, they come in good sound quality because they come in Advanced Audio Codec (AAC). It comes clearer than MP3s. Still MP3 can be included on your iTunes playlist. And aside from AAC and MP3, iTunes also has Apple Lossless which is said to be even better than WAV. What is not supported though is the WMA (Windows Media Audio). But PC users shouldn't be discouraged because you can always convert WMA files to AAC. You will still be able to listen to these songs and you can still load it to your iPod.

So what iTunes for Windows XP really offers is being able to play, to shop and to enjoy music with ease and control. Even if you are not a Mac user, you can still take advantage of the quality of music experience iTunes can bring. And with your iPod, iTunes really then gives you portability.

One of the main reasons for this =96 simple as it may seem =96 is basically out of customer loyalty to the originator of this portable audio device. It was the first of its kind on the market and still remains today, the brand of choice.

Apple actually released the iPod in 2001 as a portable audio device that was strictly compatible with . Working in unison with Apple's , Mac users were able to create, maintain and utilize countless numbers of sound files in their music and audio libraries. However, due the growing popularity among its customers, many Windows users were feeling left out and wanted to be able to take advantage of this great new way of listening to and downloading music and other audio as well. So, in 2002, Apple produced a new form of iPod that was compatible with both Macintosh and Windows interfaces. And later in 2003, they gave the Window's world a compatible version of iTunes as well. This made the audio playing and storing consumer market very happy.

Then eventually, other companies like Sony and Samsung began producing MP3 players as well but have never reached the level of success that Apple has with their iPods. And moreover, it doesn't look like those competitors ever will. Statistics show that Apple and their iPod actually dominate the with a 70% selling advantage over other manufacturers of these types of audio devices. And when it comes to hard-drive based MP3 players, they've got a whopping 90% lead over the competition.

The main reasons consumers complain about the non-Apple brands of MP3 players is that not only are the competitor versions too expensive, but they are strongly lacking in form. They just don't have the ease of operation in terms of user-interfacing and also don't include a lot of the convenient and `cool' features that the Apple iPod does either. Generally speaking, the iPod emphatically outperforms the other manufacture's brands of portable audio devices by a mile (or more).

And with the addition of Intel into the Apple product line as a whole, the iPod is only going to continue to be improved upon causing it not only to remain the favorite, but also further expand its appeal throughout the music-loving universe.

Being very much a , the fact that the back panel has the band members' signatures engraved on it is enough reason in itself for it to be the best. The U2 iPod is easily recognizable from all the other models due to its style. While the others are usually white - or plain black in the case of some 5G models -- this baby's black front panel and bright red click wheel is sure to stand out.

The U2 iPod is so much more than eye candy, though. Twenty gigabytes of storage may seem meager compared to the of the newer models but believe me, it still translates to a lot of songs. I have had the iPod for a little over a year now and I still haven't filled it up.

The U2 iPod has similar features as that of other of its generation. It is so easy to use - all you need in order to do whatever you want with your songs is your thumb. Superior sound quality lets you enjoy all your .

One drawback is the . It is supposed to be able to play songs continuously for 12 hours. In my experience, it could be anywhere from 4-9 hours. Factors such as file size and playback options may be the reason for this. The lock button on the top of the iPod can help conserve battery. When not in use, you can lock it so that you won't accidentally run the battery down. Another concern is that the iPod gets scratched easily. Solution: get a case for protection.

Indeed, compared to the other models with their newer features, the U2 iPod is a bit expensive. If you think about it though, it has everything you need in an mp3 player -- unless it's video you're after. I suppose the bottom line is whether you are enough of a U2 fan to splurge on it. Then again, even if you are not and you have enough cash to spend, the stand out look of the U2 iPod should be enough reason to get it for yourself.
