Abstract

Since 2001, the iPod has changed the way we listen to our music. It has allowed us to carry virtually our entire music collection around with us in a beautiful little package, and thanks to its unique scroll wheel, it has made that beautiful little package easy to navigate. Each year the iPod has evolved, getting physically smaller while its storage capacity and popularity have grown. Then came the iPod touch, and Apple reinvented what the MP3 player was capable of. The iPod touch, like its predecessor, quickly became the most popular MP3 player on the market, but it was so much more than just an MP3 player. It added Internet capabilities, a Multi-Touch display, and hundreds of thousands of apps for almost anything you could imagine. Now Apple’s iPod touch offers amazing features such as front and rear cameras with FaceTime video calling, a high-resolution Retina display, and Apple’s incredibly fast A4 processor.
