Pod Model

No More For The iPod

The iPod was released on October 23 2001 and in its various formats has sold over 220,000,000.

One of the major reasons that the company decicded to tackle the market is they felt that the equipment available was pretty bad. Steve Jobs then got his team on a newer design that people would actually be proud to have and get out of their pockets.

The original iPod did not include a windows format on it making the sales quite small simply because more people have windows than they do Mac. However they optimised on this by building the 2nd generation and allowed Windows users to use the hardware on their pc. Newer generations seem to be released every year now with previous including mini, shuffle and video with the newest being touch. One of the big questions to ask is, how long can all of this success carry on for?

Well the sales have seen a dip this year for the first time since the launch of the first pod which could mean the gadget is set to fall. The truth behind it is that the iPhone can now be bought almost everywhere which is why the sales could be seeing a drop.

The pod sales are down but the phone sales are up but it is not to be forgotten that the phone comes with an iPod within it. Many people have issues with the pricing. The main problem with the ipod is that with each new model comes a bigger price and half the problem seems to be that the recession is making people steer away from the expensive things.

Insurance is important for these gadgets, which is why you should look into gadget insurance or even mobile phone insurance this could really help if something bad happens to it like of course dropping it. Sat Nav Insurance could also be something worth looking into.
