You may not be aware that the original iPods and even some of the following generations had hard drives inside of them. Yes, I’m talking about actual RPM spinning hard drives with platters and heads reading and writing from those platters. With this in mind, think about an iPod and try to imagine what kind […]

Apple Gadgets to Avoid This Christmas
Everybody loves to get Apple products, right? If you buy into Apple’s holiday advertising campaigns, you’d be forgiven for believing that Apple products themselves can produce insane amounts of joy and peace among humankind. But that’s not always the case.
Why Apple Is Still Making iPods
In 2001, the iPod was absolutely revolutionary. Yes, there were other kinds of MP3 players, but the iPod was the first MP3 player that really captured the hearts and minds of the music-loving market. What made the iPod an absolute must-have device? Perhaps it was Apple’s unique marketing campaign. Or maybe it was those immediately […]
The iPod Isn’t Dead Just Yet
It seems reports of the demise of the iPod have been greatly exaggerated.

The iPod/iTunes Antitrust Lawsuit Against Apple is Stranger than Fiction
In terms of high profile lawsuits, they don’t come any stranger than the $350 million antitrust case that was filed against Apple last week.

Adios, iPod Classic!
Tuesday was the grand event that Apple people had been hyping up for some months, and from what you can read all over the place, it seems that the Keynote didn’t live up to the hype. There is the U2 thing, though, which gives you access to their album. Oh, and there’s the scarf guy […]

Apple has an assortment of iPods available including the iPod Classic, Nano, Shuffle, and the Touch.
