It used to be that buying an iPod nano instead of a full-size iPod meant more than giving up storage capacity to get a smaller player; you also sacrificed features, such as video playback and output, better games, and audio recording. Apple added recor...

All the features of the iPod classic – including video playback, video output, and games – in a smaller, less-expensive, and flash-memory-based player; Bright, clear screen; very good sound quality, excellent battery life, improved user interf...

The iPod touch complicates the ‘Which iPod should I buy?’ question. But when it comes to traditional iPods, the decision has never been easier. For those without huge iTunes libraries – or people who don’t mind managing which part...

Worthy successors to the iPod name. Sleek looks and intuitive menus at a fair price. The legendary white iPod is no more. In its place is a slimmer brushed aluminium model, in silver or black, known as the iPod classic. Unlike Coke Classic, its even...

Both players have their strong points, but the best feature remains the simple interface and excellent design. The iPod touch might be the one grabbing headlines, but Apple has given the entire iPod range a thorough shake-up. Theres no longer any suc...

What youll notice straight away is its shape: its a little shorter and much wider than its predecessor. Both the 4GB and 8GB configurations are identical in terms of dimensions - 6.9 x 5.2 x 0.7cm - so it is thinner than the older model, but at 49.2...

Apple continues to make great products - you cant deny it. But, at the same time one starts to suspect its lost its way just a little. Once, any product sporting the bitten fruit logo was going to be both super stylish and durable. Yes, the new Nano...
