September, 1 Apple Computers released some major updates in the world of iPods. The first update is with iTunes. The new iTunes 4 brags HD movies and TV shows on demand, a faster way to get your favorite tunes and a brand new feature called Ping. Ping is like any of your popular social network sites but it allows a follower to find out if your favorite singer is publishing a new album or where they are touring next.
To go with the new iTunes Apple updated the iPod line up. The new iPod Shuffle is even smaller then the previous Shuffle. Apple also brought back the classic click pad to navigate through your library and they also have VoiceOver, a voice command system that can play songs and tell you what you’re listening to.
The new iPod Nano is almost half the size and half the weight of the previous model. The new Nano also has a touch screen just like the iPod Touch. It can play your tunes, listen to the radio and it has a 24 hour battery life so you can listen to your music all day. The Nano can also connect to your Nike+ shoes to track and record the distance you ran.
Apple has made the iPod Touch closer and closer to the iPhone and they are now even closer. The new iPod Touch is now thinner and faster. The iPod can run tasks much faster then before. It also adds FaceTime, a program that allows you to have a video chat with a friend over Wi-Fi. With that Apple added two cameras. One in the front can capture your face for FaceTime while a HD camera is in the back to capture rich and stunning HD video. The iPod also allows the user to not only capture but edit and post your video to You Tube and other social networks. Apple also added a high quality Retina Display and a game center to connect with your friends. All of these updates are available next week and are just a few months before the holiday shopping season.
