Apple's
10 GB iPod is fully integrated with the award-winning PC media
player MUSICMATCH Jukebox Plus. All you need is FireWire
(IEEE1394), so every song you add or playlist you create will
automatically transfer to your iPod.
The
10GB model also comes with a wired remote control that lets you
fast-forward or rewind a track, play, pause and adjust volume
using just one hand. The headphones are smaller in size, with
new Neodymium transducer magnets for enhanced bass response,
smoother midrange transitions, and accurate high-end
reproduction.
iPod's rechargeable lithium polymer battery gives you 10 hours
of continuous playback. At a 160Kbps compression rate (the
default setting for encoding MP3s in iTunes), 10GB equals
approximately 2,000 songs, or about 200 CDs. At 128Kbps, 10GB is
equivalent to approximately 2,600 songs, or about 260 CDs.
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. The 10GB model includes an elegant carrying case
with belt clip that protects your iPod from the elements.
Description:
The iPod is not just for Macs anymore. Windows users can now
join the iPod revolution, and enjoy several exceptional new iPod
features as well. The 10 GB Windows model packs 2,000 songs and
a 10-hour battery life into a stunning 6.5-ounce package, and
Apple ups the ante with new MusicMatch software; a redesigned,
touch-sensitive scroll wheel; red-hot FireWire digital file
transfers; a wired remote control; and an overhauled
calendar/scheduler.
The iPod’s setup and interface are simple: just plug it into
your PC and all your songs and playlists are automatically
downloaded into iPod at blazing FireWire speed--typically 15
seconds or less. (FireWire is also known to PC users as i.Link
and IEEE 1394.) Don’t forget that the player also doubles as a
FireWire drive for applications and other files. This new model
also comes with a FireWire port cover to protect the player from
dirt and other gunk.
In addition to its 10 GB hard drive, iPod has a 32 MB memory
cache. The cache is made of solid-state memory, meaning that it
has no moving parts, so it's not affected by movement of the
device. Skip protection on the iPod works by continually
preloading up to 20 minutes of music into the cache.
The iPod has a large, high-quality LCD (liquid crystal display)
for viewing up to six lines of text. And the LCD features an LED
(light-emitting diode) backlight for clear visibility in
low-light situations--indoors or outdoors. Pocket-size and just
6.5 ounces, it weighs appreciably less than the stack of CDs it
can store music from.
Featuring MusicMatch software, the iPod can synchronize with
newly added music files and playlists. Simply plug the iPod back
into your PC and the changes are automatically updated in
seconds. With MusicMatch, you can rip MP3s, create playlists,
and burn custom CDs all from one simple interface. And thanks to
a cool new partnership with audible.com, you can now download
audiobooks to the iPod.
You can also download your calendar and schedule to the iPod
from applications like Outlook and Palm Desktop. Plus, the iPod
now has a built-in digital clock.
The iPod's rechargeable lithium-polymer battery is charged using
the FireWire cable when connected to your PC. You can also
recharge the iPod using the included FireWire cable and AC
adapter when you're on the go.
The iPod supports MP3 (up to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR (variable bit
rate), WAV, and AIFF files, and is firmware upgradeable. To use
the iPod with your PC, you'll need a FireWire port and you must
be running either Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP Home
or Professional.
The unit comes with a wired remote control, revamped earbud-style
headphones, a FireWire cable, power adapter, and CD-ROM with
MusicMatch. It's backed by a 90-day limited warranty.
