Now that you can buy movies from the iTunes Store and
sync them to your iPod, the whole world is your theater. With the
Apple 80 GB iPod with Video Playback in hand, those movies fit
comfortably next to TV shows, new iPod games, podcasts,
audiobooks, photo albums, and, of course, an entire library of
music--up to 20,000 songs. How much can your pocket hold? That's
up to you and your iPod, but no matter how you organize it, the
iPod holds loads of songs and plenty of hours of video.
Your iPod library can now contain new iPod games, feature films,
and up to 20,000 songs.
The same great iPod interface and ease of use that goes great in
any hand.
With all your music at your fingertips, you may never want to
stop listening. Lucky thing your iPod plays audio for hours and
hours, or if you'd rather watch, you can feast your eyes on
movies and TV shows for several hours without draining your
battery. And you can count on the iPod to help you pack light. It
is almost hard to explain exactly how 80 GB of storage can fit
into an iPod that's the same size as the 60 GB model before it.
However it happened, it means you can carry more music and video
absolutely anywhere you go. And with a 60-percent brighter
screen, the vibrant display gives your album art, photos, and
video extra oomph. As always, iPod makes finding what you want to
hear a breeze. Plus, a new interface lets you search your iPod
using the patented Click Wheel. And if you're a fan of live
albums, classical works, or anything that sounds best when it is
played continuously, iPod supports gess playback that
seamlessly transitions from one song to another. Music, Movies
and TV Shows
Finding and playing music on your iPod is simple. Use the Click
Wheel to adjust volume, navigate songs, or browse the Music menu
by artists, composer, album, song, genre, or playlist. Want to
mix things up? Simply click Shuffle Songs. iPod makes your music
look as good as it sounds, thanks to its big, bright color
display. Album art appears alongside your songs in the Now
Playing screen, so you can see your music as you play it. After
all, iPod loves music as much as you do.
Now you can watch a movie while waiting in line for tickets to
one. Download movies from the iTunes Store, then sync them to
your iPod to watch anywhere, anytime. The iPod's gorgeous
display--now 60-percent brighter--makes your movies pop. And
thanks to improved video playback time, iPod keeps you
entertained for several hours--even longer if you reduce
brightness using the new brightness control.
As for television programs, there's always something good on
iPod. Browse thousands of episodes of your favorite TV shows on
the iTunes Store, buy them for just a couple dollars each, then
sync them to your iPod. Watch last night's episodes this morning,
or buy a whole TV series and settle in for a pocket-size
marathon. All your TV episodes display in order, so you can
navigate them easily, and every episode you buy from iTunes is
optimized to look great on the iPod's crystal-clear, 320 x
240-pixel display.
Podcasts, Audiobooks, Games, and Photos
The iTunes Store features thousands of free podcasts--radio-type
shows you subscribe to--including indie favorites and offerings
from big names such as, ABC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, PBS, NPR,
and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them
to your iPod and listen anytime. Even video podcasts sync to go,
and all your podcasts appear in their own menu on your iPod, so
they're easy to navigate.
The iPod measures up nicely, and is over 30% thinner than the
previous fourth generation.
The iTunes Store is the bridge between your iPod and all the
content your heart desires.
The digital shelves of the iTunes Store are stocked with
thousands of audiobooks, including such exclusives as the entire
Harry Potter series. Download what you want, sync to your iPod
and catch up on your reading the audio way. Just like podcasts,
you can browse audiobooks in their own menu on your iPod. And
your iPod automatically recognizes where you left off reading and
bookmarks your place, so it is easy to dive back into the story.
You can even change the reading speed to suit you--this is a
perfect feature for learning a new language. Now that the iTunes
Store features iPod games, you can keep hours of fun at your
fingertips. Download brand-new and classic games, including
Bejeweled, Texas Hold 'Em, Vortex, Mahjong, Mini Golf, Pac-Man,
Tetris, and Zuma, for just a few dollars each, then sync them to
your iPod and play along with your favorite tunes. All iPod games
from the iTunes Store are designed specifically for the
fifth-generation iPod, and all of them look great on the 2.5-inch
color display.
If you can fill your iPod with photos, then you've got a ton of
images at your disposal. iPod holds tens of thousands of photos
that you can sync from your Mac or Windows PC via iTunes. Use the
Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you
scroll through song titles. To see a photo full-screen, just
click the center button. You can even view photo
slideshows--complete with music--on your iPod or on a TV via the
optional iPod Video/Photo AV Cable (
/Apple-Video-Photo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000FIN73Y ). Select Slideshow
Settings, choose the transition effect and the music, and then
start the show.
Search, Settings, and Extras
With thousands of songs, audiobooks, and more on your iPod, you
need an easy way to search and enjoy your collection. A
brand-new, built-in search function lets you use the Click Wheel
to type out the name of the song, artist, album, audiobook, or
podcast you're looking for, and your iPod returns results
instantly as you select letters--finding what you want couldn't
be easier.
The fifth-generation iPod lets you customize menus, check
capacity, change your language, change how your iPod sounds, and
more, all from the easy-to-use Setting menu. Click About to see
how many songs are on your iPod and how much room you have left.
Click Main Menu to select what items appear in your Main Menu,
tweak the built-in equalizer, or set a maximum volume
limit--everything you need to personalize your iPod, from
backlight timer to clicker sound effects, appear in Settings.
And, lastly, your iPod is loaded with extras. Everything from
s, contacts, and the World Clock appear in the Extras
menu, along with a few more handy items. Take the Screen Lock,
for example. Spin the Click Wheel to choose a four-digit
combination and protect your iPod from prying eyes. If you forget
your combo, you can reset it at your next sync. Or use the
built-in stopwatch to log your best times at the gym. And when
it's finally time to play, the Extras menu lists all your games,
including the ones you purchase from the iTunes Store.
