My iPod battery seemed to lose it charge more quickly than before, despite it being plugged in most all the time. I finally got the cash to purchase a new one from iPodResQ, and opted to do it myself. Yay!
Finally my iPod Video 60gb arrived! This is the contents of the package, along with the universal dock I also ordered.
According to the Chinese calendar, 2007 was the year of the pig. According to technology experts, it was the year of Apple.
Best in show: The iPhone was the best gadget of 2007
It has been a bumper year for the California-based company. More than three billion songs had been bought through the iTunes music store since 2001, and that 110 million iPods have been sold worldwide.
Apple sustained the momentum by increasing the capacity of its iPod range, giving it a facelift, adding a new selection of pastel-coloured iPod shuffles, and introducing video-playback to a thinner, squatter iPod nano. Oh, and it launched a mobile phone.
Yes, the long-awaited, much-hyped iPhone finally made its debut in the US in June, before hitting UK shops in November. The widescreen, touchscreen device boasts a sensational web browser, integrated iPod and some nifty features, such as Google Maps.
There's no 3G, it can't capture video, and you can't send picture messages - but it marks a fundamental shift in the kind of user experience consumers will expect from the internet and their phones. Already, other mobile makers are scrambling to bring out touchscreen devices, and the likes of LG's Viewty show that tactile displays are really putting the "digit" in digital.
iPod Nano 2G
On September 12, 2006, Apple updated the Nano line. The second-generation Nano features scratch-resistant, anodized aluminium casing like the earlier Mini's design; the multiple color choices (silver, green, pink, blue, and black) mirror that of the Mini as well. However, unlike the second-generation Mini, the button labels do not match the color of the Nano. Instead, they are gray, like the first-generation Mini, except for the black iPod which has a black click wheel. The second-generation Nano features "a brighter, more vibrant display",a battery life upgrade (from 14 to 24 hours), and doubled storage sizes with the new 2, 4, and 8 GB models (compared to the previous 1, 2, and 4 GB models). The second generation iPod nanos also support gapless playback of audio files, a new search option, and a 40 percent brighter screen. The 2 GB model was available in silver only. The 4 GB was initially available in green, blue, silver, or pink. The 8 GB model was initially only available in black but Product Red was later added. Apple claims that the second generation iPod nano's packaging is "32% lighter and uses 52% less volume than the first generation", thereby reducing environmental impact and shipping cost at the same time.
On October 13, 2006, Apple announced a special edition iPod nano Product Red, with a red exterior and 4 GB of storage. For each red iPod nano sold in the United States, Apple donates US$10 to the Product Red initiative, while retaining the regular price. On November 3, 2006, Apple introduced a red 8 GB model, due to "outstanding customer demand", while also retaining the same price point of the black model with an equally large storage capacity.
