Product Description
Apple presents iPod - the first MP3 player to pack a countless number of songs
and 10 hours of battery life into a stunning package you can literally take
everywhere. It's your entire music collection. With no moving parts, the iPod's
touch-sensitive scroll wheel is less vulnerable to dust, dirt or sand and more
durable. The touch-sensitive scroll wheel is designed to retain its crisp feel
throughout the lifespan of your iPod. There's even a clicker that makes a tiny
clicking sound when the scroll wheel is moving.Small though it is, the iPod
packs a lot of storage. The number of songs it holds depends on the compression
rate you choose. At a 160Kbps compression rate (the default setting for encoding
MP3s in iTunes), 5GB equals approximately 1, 000 songs, or about 100 CDs. That's
how big it is on the inside. And with that much space, you might also find
yourself storing documents, files and applications on your iPod in FireWire disk
mode. iPod's rechargeable lithium polymer battery gives you 10 hours of
continuous playback. In a hurry to get it recharged? Fast-charge the battery to
80% of capacity in an hour, and get it fully recharged in three hours. With an
industry-leading 20 minutes of skip protection, iPod keeps playing without
missing a beat. iPod has a 32MB solid-state memory cache, meaning that it has no
mechanical or moving parts. Skip protection works by continually preloading up
to 20 minutes of music into the cache, so your iPod is not affected by sudden
movements.
