In fact, the new fourth-generation iPod includes features that
make it even easier to access -- and have fun with -- your
music. Take, for example, the Apple Click Wheel. With the Click
Wheel, you can select playlists, scroll through a long list of
albums or artists and choose just the song you want to hear
without ever lifting your thumb from the wheel.
Feel like mixing things up? Now you can choose “Shuffle
Songs” right from the main iPod menu. You’ll also
enjoy iPod’s long battery life -- up to 12 hours -- and the
25 minutes of skip protection this iPod provides.
iPod now incorporates the same touch-sensitive Apple Click Wheel
that debuted on iPod
mini. Without lifting that trusty thumb of
yours from the wheel, you can easily select playlists, scroll
through thousands of songs, and start the music playing. Want
that song to play from the beginning again? A single click will
do the trick.
While you’re on the move, iPod keeps you
aware of its charge level, and when it’s time, iPod’s quick
to recharge. Plug it into your computer or a handy wall socket
(via the included power adapter), and you can fast-charge iPod
in as little as 2 hours.
iPod also provides you with up to 40 GB of storage. True,
you’re likely to use a good portion of that storage capacity
for your music and audio books, but you’re bound to have a
little space left over. You can use the FireWire or USB 2.0
cable that comes with iPod to connect the iPod to your computer
and copy files. Word documents. Keynote presentations. Excel
spreadsheets. Photoshop files. You name it.
If you’ve ever forgotten a dental appointment, you’ll be
pleased to hear that iPod also lets you take your calendar with
you. Many applications -- iCal, Microsoft Entourage and Palm
Desktop, to name a few -- export calendar files in vCalendar or
iCalender formats, both of which iPod supports.
And thanks to its support for industry-standard vCard files,
iPod lets you store and access all your important contact
information -- names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses
-- with the spin of a Click Wheel.
iPod’s Notes Reader also lets you take text-based information
such as news downloaded off the web, stock tips, your workout
regimen, restaurant reviews, directions, your shopping list with
you on your travels. Just transfer it via FireWire or USB 2.0 to
iPod from your computer (Mac or PC).
