" Hi! My name is Eric. I’m talking to you today on behalf of expertvillage.com. Today we’re going to go through and we’re going to talk about the extras menu available on all iPods with click wheel and color display. Here, our demonstration model, we’re going to use our current iPod photo. On this unit, we’re going to navigate down to the extras menu from our main menu here and select. As you notice, as the menu name changes, we go through and select see extras at the very top. Our first option here, which is clock, shows us the time of day of the correct day and time or set. This information is also synced to the iPod when it’s synced in iTunes. Also, next on the actual menu we have contacts. This information can be loaded from either a Mac or it can be loaded from a PC as well; iTunes includes a software currently. Next, we have calendar, which of it includes reminders for specific items during the day, things along that nature; very useful when the iPod is the only device available to you. Next, we have notes, which can be preloaded only through a computer in this case, to the iPod, due to the iPod has no other input device. Last but not least, we have games. As of current, from what I understand, games are not available for download from the iTunes music store. However, the iPod itself does come with a couple games itself preloaded. On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Eric. "
