Apple is constantly on the move
iTunes, iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano, iPod Touch... Do you speak Apple? If you don’t than, it behoves you to get your act together without delay, otherwise you will quickly find yourself... back to the dinosaur-age of keys! And today you have no reason to go back to keys and fastidious operations to use what is becoming more and more intuitive in terms of high-tech!
In the iPod family, I would like...
"Good things come in small packages": the proof of that is the iPod shuffle, the smallest walkman in the world and the first one that can talk, now offered at 59 € and up, in five flashy colours for you to choose from. Intuitive controls placed on the headphone cable, and the VoiceOver functionality that tells you in person the title and the artist of songs, as well as the heading of the reading list: no more need of a screen! And thanks to its stainless steel clip you can clip it on anywhere, you can take it everywhere, so no excuse not to get a bit of exercise in its company? Need I say more ? You are bound to like it!

It is an excellent pocket computer, a real game console with a revolutionary App Store from Apple – more than 75,000 applications – you guessed it, it is the iPod touch, equipped with the famous Apple Multi-Touch interface, a superb, large, glass, 3.5 inch screen, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivities, as well as what has become the famous and indispensable accelerometer and an integrated loudspeaker, all in an incredibly fine, metallic case that easily fits into your pocket. iPod touch 8 Go is available nowadays for only 199 €. In addition, it includes the Mix Genius function, which automatically creates up to 12 unlimited mixes of the pieces chosen out of your iTunes library.

Last but not least...
iPod nano has not stood idle on its laurels. The most popular music player in the world is now equipped with a video camera, a microphone and a loudspeaker, and enables you to make and play video recordings, then to use the computer to easily transfer them on YouTube. Ultra-fine, the new nano iPod is equipped with a larger 2.2-inch colour-screen and integrates a FM radio and a pedometer, for the sporty side to it: it even records the number of steps you’ve taken and calories consumed. What could be more motivating?
