Ipods R Fun

Apple Company introduced iPod video some time in April 2005 and it was the latest technology on playing videos on the run. As the new product hit the market there were lots of criticism and praises for the new product.

As is the case with any other new product there was lots discussed on the iPod video and the Apple had brought different concept of Video and the usability, its accessories, quality and the technicalities of the iPod video was under scanner.
The main praise was that the image and text quality of the new iPod video is very good and that it revolutionizes the concept of iPod, which was a hearing devise and not watching. The people prefer to watch the movies sitting comfortably at home or in a movie whereas Apple was promoting the idea of a video on the run, while walking or exercising. Therefore, it was the concept of watching the music videos on the go.

The battery life of the iPod is just 2 hours while watching a video 2 hours is not enough to finish a movie so you can just watch a small television series or an episode of some serial. The usual battery life is 20 hours more than the 16 hours they use to give in the earlier model but to watch the video it is only two hours. You can watch the series while riding a cab or in the train.

You can also watch the photos plus read some text documents as the video watching is not the only that features the iPod as it has the big color screen, which can be used. Earlier models were easily scratched but the iPod video has a protective sleeve which while on the go will keep it safe and scratch free.

Apart from the technical discussions, the critics are also impressed by the good look and the colors of the iPod Video.
This shows that the company Apple is trying to be innovative and keeping in mind the consumers is in the market to satisfy the customer needs who are more and more demanding and they expect a lot from the Apple Company in their future innovations.

Based on this, it is expected the new type of iPods to be improved even more with new video settings and accessories.

All the accessories show how much the iPod video is popular and are in demand.

The different set of people enjoys different inventions. The women are more interested in the beauty, clothes and accessories, the children in games, and the men in technology. Anything new technology introduced in the market the men are the ones who will need to buy it first. The manufacturers know what sort of people to target for a different articles. One such item, which is creating ripples, is the release of ipod Video and the advertisement target is for specific buyers.

Usually when the new product enters into the market, the manufacturer does a check on the markets and they usually do it by opinion polls. The ipod market is young  people and parents who would like to bestow these upon their children on their birthdays or some such occasions.
Some of the people who are not very tech savvy also would love to possess it, as it is a new technology. Usually the young children would love to upgrade their system, as if they know the technology and will know how to download the video clips but the adults may not know the same.

In addition, men and not women purchase this type of devise. Even if women will buy the same, they will give it away as a gift to their sons or their husbands. The price also plays a heavy part in the purchase which a manufacturer and wholesaler is aware of. Therefore, they can target accordingly. The iPod video cannot be targeted to the teenagers, as their purchasing power is limited.

In addition, the time plays an important role. These types of iPods and other technology related items sell more during the festival season. Even during the summer holidays the sale increases as people going on vacation prefer to listen to music or watch some video, which usually they are unable to. 

The iPod video has lots of potential in terms of sales as many people would like to upgrade their system, some of them would like to possess it for the first the time. This gives the company lots of potential to make the iPod more technically correct and may be add some more new features to it. 

While in USA for a vacation I was surprised the new gaming consoles available. Earlier we were happy with the Nintendo games which came with a price but nowadays there are so many things available that the choice becomes difficult. Out of the new products iPod videos are in vogue. The new iPod include video, which was missing in the previous model.

Customers have choices in buying stuff. PSP and iPod are two products, which is attracting lots of customers. PSP is a gadget mainly to use for playing games. The small easy to handle was very popular to play games and watch movie clips. 

While comparing the battery life between iPod and PSP, PSP is the better one, it shows movie for up to 7-8 hours at a stretch whereas iPod can only show for up to 2 hours.
 
When we come on the quality of the audio, both are almost same but some people vouch on iPod.

PSP has wider screen but iPod has a clearer picture quality. Encoding is faster in PSP, it takes three hours against the PSP which takes 12 hours.

While finding the advantages and disadvantages between the two devices, we notice that it complements each other. Ipod has better video then PSP has longer battery life. The size of iPod is very small hence is easy to carry anywhere. Both the devices have a good market during the holiday season showing that this device is used mainly for fun.

Customer can choose the device as per their choice and the requirements that they have in their mind.
 

iPod video has unique features of holding songs recording up to 20000, photos up to 25000, and video shooting up to 100 hours. It can entertain people up to 6.5 hours and if you reduce the brightness of the screen you will get additional 3 hours. Slim in appearance, with its huge memory capacity and longer battery life has made iPod Video very famous. Every thing has two sides like coin. We have mentioned all the good features of the iPod Video; now let us list some negative points too.

Everything created by human being needs improvement. So also iPod video, we should consider customer’s reviews and suggestions to find the drawbacks of the product and to improve it.
 
In iPod the screen is bigger being a good point, it also makes it open to scratches, thus spoiling its appearance. People who are using the iPod Video complain about the video images being stuck on the screen. The battery consumption is more when using for video, you just need to recharge it. Sometimes there is a sound interruption while switching the tracks.

However, the screen is small of the iPod Video the clarity can be compared to the Television screen. Due to its size, it makes watching iPod Video very personal. It makes sharing of the personal album, music or video films very easy.
