How Much Does an iPod Cost?

Video Transcript

"Hey, it's Rokosz, your digital lifestyle expert here, talking about how much an iPod costs. Well, that's a deep subject because a lot of different models have a lot of different sizes and storage. Well, let's start off with the iPod classic. iPod classic comes in a 120-gig, and it'll set you back $250, and that will provide you with 30,000 songs or a hundred fifty hours of video, which should be plenty to get you through a good plane ride. Now there's a bunch of other models out there, like the brand new iPod Shuffle. They begin at just $79, and that'll allow you to have a thousand songs in there. Since it has, you know, a screen, and for that matter, no control button actually on the unit, there's no video associated with it. The new powerful iPod Nanos begin as inexpensive as $149, which will give you eight gigabytes, which is only two thousand songs, or eight hours of video, or you could juice it up to sixteen gigs, which can give you four thousand songs, sixteen hours of video, and set you back a couple hundred bucks. And you could also move up to the big dog on the road now, which is the iPod Touch, which I like to call the iPhone Light. It's available in eight gigabytes, sixteen gigabytes, and thirty-two gigabytes. Let's take a look at that for a second. Eight gigabytes will give you 1750 songs, roughly, with ten hours of video, and set you back $229. Sixteen gigabytes, 3,500 songs, twenty hours of beautiful video, and $300. Now, if you're really ready to step up to the big dog daddy, that's thirty-two gigs, seven thousand songs, forty hours of video, and you're going to have about $400 invested in that. Now, of course, those prices are all for brand new off-the-shelf units, and don't forget, if you order them from Apple, you can get free laser engraving. Have your name or somebody else's name engraved in there, if you're just that weird. Well, of course, you're giving it away as a gift. Sometimes I like to have a stranger's name engraved in mine, just to make me feel alive. I'm Rokosz, your digital lifestyle expert, saying, well, there's iPods for every person, every price range, and now different colors. So we'll stream you later."
