The capacity of ipods to store information up to 80 GB has made ideal choice to use it in mobility. The storage of 20000 songs is too much even for a music buff so most of them use it for listening to audio version of books and tutorials. Some sites even offer free audio tutorial downloads for ipods.
The capacity is explored to store more useful information other than songs, which can be recalled and listened while commuting places.

Ipods actually stormed the music industry and created followers of young breed of music lovers. The revolutionary Ipod is considered as an icon in the list of the products mentioned in “products of the century”.

Ipod was indigenously designed and developed by Apple. The technology used was not that innovative but the concept was mind blowing. The data are stored on specially developed hard drive whose capacity runs from 1 gb to 80 gb ( till the date this article was updated) and in future it is also planning to launch live video streaming facility. Itunes and apple platform supportive softwares are used to listen the songs and upload data in Ipods.

The popularity of Ipods boosted the Apple people so much that they even designed a cellular phone based on the concept of Ipod and cleverly named it Iphone to further cash in the popularity of Ipod. Reviews of Iphones were very encouraging and it was even called as the phone of the future by some apple supporters. Skeptics however differ and believe that the lack of sharing information, inflexible softwares and solo operator support may hamper the growth of a brand name which was achieved by Ipods. They feel that by the time apple starts reaching for the market other competitors who are purely cellular phone manufacturers can make better touch screen phones as they are having years of experience in the field. Even these companies may reduce the price to snatch consumers for solo apple in this field. Well every one has his views so skeptics may support Ipods or Iphones or may oppose it. However nobody can ignore the fact the Ipod has generated billions of dollars for the apple thereby giving true value entertainment for the ipod users.

The popularity of ipods created pod casts which can be used like blog for bloggers. The company can pod cast its promotions to their costumers. Celebrities use it to sent messages to their fan clubs. Tech savvy politicians lure people by posting their lectures.
