How To Choose The Best Accessories For Your iPod
For people who aren’t techno geeks the act of buying new electronic gadgets is sometimes challenging. The user manuals are usually little if any help because they are written in geek speak Almost all of the new cell phones and MP3 players today come with another onslaught of accessories to go along with them and the iPod is no different. So how do you know which accessories you really need for your iPod?
The iPod ecosystem as it is sometimes called, is the accessories market that exists for the portable player. Companies like Lansing, Bose, and JBL manufacture speakers that work in conjunction with the device by making use of the thirty pin connector on the unit. There are other manufacturers that offer add-ons to the device allowing it to play your music through a radio, record audio, and recharge on the go, or even use wirelessly with a remote control.
Of course there are also cases available for the portable device with people buying these not merely for protection of their devices but to make them more fashionable as well. These cases are made by companies that specialize in the fashion industry and are usually constructed of silicone or plastic. Apple also offers cases and brought out nano tubes to go along with the iPod Nano.
If you are into skiing or snowboarding you will be stoked to know that Burton Snowboards has introduced a backpack and a jacket developed specifically to go with the iPod and allow you to control your device via the Softtouch application on the sleeve of the jacket or the strap of the backpack. This makes it super easy to control your music while you are hitting the slopes.
The new iPod radio remote is a wired remote control using an interface similar to the Shuffle. This accessory also brings radio tuning to your player and shows the station being played on your screen. Support for this accessory is included in the firmware version 1.1.
The iPod HI-Fi is a must have for those who wish to use their device to play music at home. This system features amplified loudspeakers and docks with your player. The system offers the option of plugging into a regular outlet or running on D cell batteries for portability using the integrated handles.
In the automotive industry, the German automaker BMW introduced the first interface for the iPod that was released by a car manufacturer. This is a really cool option that allows you to control your unit through controls on the steering wheel or on the stereo buttons in the dash of the vehicle.

What ipod model is the best?
I’m deciding either the Ipod mini, an ipod nano or a regular ipod.
Which one would you choose or prefer and why? Like…the pros and cons of each one…does the ipod mini have color screens or what?
Oh, another question is like…what are the basic accessories you need for an ipod? Like…the USB connector? Or anything? (what i mean by basic accessories are like…the things you need to have when you have an ipod. like the power source, the connector, and headphones…stuff like that. i don’t know what they’re called, and i don’t know if there’s anything else. i just need to know what they are called so i can buy them.)
How much would that cost? thanks!
The are no longer "regular" ipod’s or "mini’s" just video,nano, and shuffle. Video and nano ipod’s have color screens and allow you to choose which songs to listen to and when. The shuffle doesn’t have a screen so the songs you hear come in a random order. I recommend the video ipod because you can download games, tv shows, and music. Also the nano screen breaks easily. All the usb cords come with the product when you buy it in the store. All you need to buy is a charger.

Ipods are being made from a long time ago. Right now they talk about generation 5.5., so avoid too old ones.
IThe Apple iPod 80GB 5th generation Black is the top of the line. A huge 80 GB hard disk in a thin player is really something. Comes in black or white and goes for $400 to $350.
The only thing better than that is the Iphone, wich is fresh starting and includes a cell phone… mmm that is $450 plus contract.
Besides the 80GB , there are 60GB , 40GB and 30GB models, on the big line… MOST OF THEM HANDLE VIDEO AND DAYS OF NON STOP MUSIC.
The smaller IPODs, called Minis/shuflle/Nanos go from 4 GB to 1GB.
All you need to know is how much money you got, and how many songs or video will you be using,
3mb is the equivalent of a 3 minute song at 128kbrate. So an 80GB Ipod will give you 18 days non stop music..no repetition.
Accesories recommended are>
a pair of extra hesdphones, maybe a cushioned external headphones for painless audition, I would buy a cable to connect it to my stereo, and also a couple of good quality minispeakers for that chat with friends….
Sounds right?
