If you havent heard of the iPod, you must have been in a cave for the last 7 or so years. Released in October, 2001 the Apple designed MP3 player has changed the way we think about portable music, but also style. The iPod has gone through various design changes and is currently operating as a touch screen model with upto 32gb capacity for your songs. There is also a huge number of games and add-on applications that can be purchased from the Apple store, which add dramatically to the usability of the phone.

The player itself works with a multi-touch interface that can sense your figure movements on the screen, and selects the desired song. The initial set up is easy for both Mac and PC and works by by importing MP3 music files from your computer, which you can listen to on the move. This makes a perfect christmas present for boys, girls, young and old – it really can be bought for anyone! The iPod Touch is in its ‘2nd generation’, which has increased its storage capacity, stability and performance. The 16GB 2nd Gen Touch retails at around £205. I highly recommend this for any music, or indeed technology fan!
