Introduction:

Apple is hot. Whether you like it or not, whether you are a Windows or Mac freak or just that average consumer behind his desktop or notebook, Apple is everywhere. My personal interest in Apple products began with the introduction of de stylish PowerBooks and powerful PowerMacs. The designs are simply beautiful. Of course the iPod also caught my eye, and especially Apple's latest introduction of a video version of the Apple iPod is of great interest to me. It features a sharp and colourful display and is able to show me my favourite video clips, films and pictures. A whole bunch of them because the storage capacity reaches up to 60GB (Apple offers 30 en 60GB models). The first Apple iPods only played songs, then it expanded to photos and on the way 'pod casting' was invented, today the iPod plays video as well. Apple sent me the new black coloured iPod 60GB version. I took some time to get into iPod...

Apple iPod video LCD display:

The design of the iPod looks similar to that of previous products, but it has a finer and slimmer build. In a way, the design was not a surprise, but well why change a success story for something unsure. Its dimensions are just great. Imaging those old hard disks you had in your desktops, bulky and heavy. The Apple iPod is in fact a hard disk with extended features. It is quite astonishing that Apple is able to create a device with such ultra small dimensions and up to 60GB capacity. It is about 10 percent thinner than the 4th generation 20GB iPod. The new iPod version features a larger format LCD display of 2.5-inch format with a QVGA resolution.
