"Hi! My name is Eric. On behalf of expertvillage.com, I’m here today to talk to you about the current models of iPods that are available to us today. One of the first units that I’m going to show you today is the iPod Shuffle. This all in one unit came out in mid 2005. It was on of the first units to go back to the original iPod connector with the buttons on the exterior units of the actual play/pause button itself. This unit dawns in actual physical on/off switch, which none of the other iPod models ever had in this case. This unit, due to the fact that it has no display, also has an actual full battery button to indicate the actual charge to the actual unit. One of the thing interesting to this model is the fact that it took away the actual wires away from the iPod. The physical iPod shuffle is physically plugged into the actual computer itself, Mac or PC, without issue. This unit on the newer vision has been shortened down to about a smaller size, still maintains its USB connectivity, and it’s still a great seller today. After the iPod shuffle came out, one of the newest items on the market was the slimmer, thinner, purse size iPod nano. This unit later released in black as well. It comes in 2 and 4 gigabytes increments, supports the actual hold switch on the top, identical to the 3rd and 4th generation models, and has dock connector as well. One of the things that you’ll notice is that the headphone port Is on the bottom of the iPod nano so that it can attached to the arm, attached to a lanyerd, or used in that matter. This unit does in fact have a spinning micro hard drive unlike the original current units. The newest edition to the iPod family is the iPod video. This iPod, not only does it show videos and pictures, it also has the ability for sound just like all the others. However, with this display, it was expanded to accommodate high screen video. This iPod dawns the dock connector just like all the rest, and is a lot slimmer than any of the iPod photo models that were ever available at the time. This iPod also has the ability for video output through the headphone port at the very top, as well as stop motion for picture, and also dawns the metal whole port itself. On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Eric. Have a good day."
