With its huge memory capacity, you can store not 1,000 songs, not 5,000 songs, but 10,000 songs on your iPod. Once songs are loaded into the iPod, you can take them anywhere. The batteries can last up to 12 hours, and the iPod never skips, so this machine is completely portable - even for jogging. What can you do with these 10,000 songs, you may ask? You can organize the songs into customizable playlists either with itunes, or even right on the iPod.
The iPod is not just good for songs, however. The new iPod photo allows you to store and then view uploaded pictures right on your iPod. The regular iPod can also act as another place to store anything at all, such as school papers and important back ups. The iPod also functions as an alarm clock, calendar, to-do list, and, just for the fun of it, the Mac company also added in some games.
If this is not enough for you, do not fret. For what does not already come on the iPod, you can order nifty attachments. For example: a mini recorder to record all those lectures you slept through, a jogging case for when you exercise, an extra battery pack for those super long road/plane trips back home, and many more little items sure to get the attention of the college crowd.
Windows users, do not be scared off by the apple like nature of the iPod. This handy machine is compatible with your machine, as well, with a simple free download of iTunes from imac.com. Everyone, Rollins students included, have shown off their status using their iPods. Music addicts will never go hungry again.
