I honestly did not know they still sold iPods. Or not many, anyway. Everyone I ever knew that had an iPod now uses their phone as their music devices. That even includes those of us who leapfrogged the iPod.
Who buys them any more?
Great product. I have got a huge amount of enjoyment out of the ones I have owned. For years, my music languished because I was too busy to sit down, put it on and listen.
Then, when I got my first iPod in the fall of 2001, I rediscovered all of my music. I had several thousand CD’s, worked like hell to digitize them, and they have sat in a dusty box since then.
Great product. Thanks, Apple, for introducing it.
>But thanks to smarter mobile phones like Apple’s own iPhone, listening to music is now mainly a function of your phone, not a separate device like the iPod. <
Don’t care. I have other MP3 players and prefer to use them over the Ipod which couldn;t even handle a 30 minute jog while my Sandisk was built for physical exercise.
I still LOVE my iPod Shuffle (2nd gen) and use it every day when I run. I hate running with my phone (too bulky, “twitchy”), so I bought 3 of the 2nd gen models when that horrible 3rd gen shuffle came out. With any luck, the OS will continue supporting those devices, because I’ll have mine for at least 20 years!
I use my iPhone for phone calls and the internet. While I have my songs loaded on there, I still use my tiny iPod Nano for listening to music.
It's much smaller and lighter and therefore better for working out, walking around, on airplanes or just hanging out soemwhere.
HOT NEWS: Prolly, coodbee!
I’ve been waiting for the 5th gen iPod with FM radio and other missing features. There won’t be one?
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! There are still dinosaurs out there like me that don’t have smart phones. I don’t go anywhere without my iPod in tow.
I have two iPod Classics and they are loaded with identical music/video for the kids. They are especially useful when in a car like my husband’s or my mother’s where there is no dvd player.
