According to this latest PC Magazine article entitled, “Ten MP3 Players—All Under $150” you might not need an iPod after all.  The goal of this article was to persuade you that there is much more out there besides that coveted iPod Touch.  However, that doesn’t mean that iPod’s themselves are out of the question.  They are simply suggesting you go for the much more affordable iPod Touch.  The article states,

“Budget MP3 players market can be divided into three categories. First up we have “Ultra-Cheap”—simple devices that don’t offer much additional functionality beyond basic music playback. These players typically cost well under $100 and make good choices for music lovers on a budget, or anyone who fears losing an expensive device to a treadmill or, worse, the cold, hard pavement. Compact and portable, at this price they’re also easily replaceable. Players like the screenless Apple iPod shuffle and the cute SanDisk Sansa Fuze are top picks.” (read the full article here)

The article itself lists 10 amazing MP3 players that won’t put a huge dent in your pocket book.  So next time your thinking about purchasing a cheap iPod, consider some alternatives before you make the choice.  But, don’t listen to us, we’re still pushing for Apple.

Who Invented the iPod?

Today’s question of the day has probably crossed all of our minds at some point. Who actually thought of inventing the iPod?

To answer this question there are really two parts… The simple part and the long explanation. We will give you both:

Simple Explanation:
Jonathan Ive, currently a senior VP at Apple, is widely regarded as the main person responsible with the industrial design behind the original iPod and other manifestations thereof.

You can read an article about him on Wikipedia or visit his fan website.

Long Story:
iPod came from Apple’s “digital hub” category,[5] when the company began creating software for the growing market of personal digital devices. Digital cameras, camcorders and organizers had well-established mainstream markets, but the company found existing digital music players “big and clunky or small and useless” with user interfaces that were “unbelievably awful,”[5] so Apple decided to develop its own. As ordered by CEO Steve Jobs, Apple’s hardware engineering chief Jon Rubinstein assembled a team of engineers to design the iPod line, including hardware engineers Tony Fadell and Michael Dhuey,[6] and design engineer Jonathan Ive.[5] The product was developed in less than one year and unveiled on October 23, 2001. Jobs announced it as a Mac-compatible product with a 5 GB hard drive that put “1,000 songs in your pocket.”

Uncharacteristically, Apple did not develop the iPod software entirely in-house, instead using PortalPlayer’s reference platform based on 2 ARM cores. The platform had rudimentary software running on a commercial microkernel embedded operating system. PortalPlayer had previously been working on an IBM-branded MP3 player with Bluetooth headphones.[5] Apple contracted another company, Pixo, to help design and implement the user interface under the direct supervision of Steve Jobs.[5] As development progressed, Apple continued to refine the software’s look and feel. Starting with the iPod Mini, the Chicago font was replaced with Espy Sans. Later iPods switched fonts again to Podium Sans — a font similar to Apple’s corporate font, Myriad. iPods with color displays then adopted some Mac OS X themes like Aqua progress bars, and brushed metal in the lock interface. In 2007, Apple modified the iPod interface again with the introduction of the sixth-generation iPod Classic and third-generation iPod Nano by changing the font to Helvetica and, in most cases, splitting the screen in half by displaying the menus on the left and album artwork, photos, or videos on the right (whichever was appropriate for the selected item).

Definition of iPod

We thought we could follow-up last week’s question (What does iPod stand for?) with this stumper:

Define iPod

Dictionary.com has this to say:
iPod
noun
(trademark) a pocket-sized device used to play music files

Pretty vague yet almost sounds about right until they throw this in…
IPOD
International Program of Ocean Drilling

Well that’s no good! They are just taking us back to the acronym thing again. But, we want to know… What really does iPod mean?

Let it be known, we checked every official source and got majority bullshit response. The best possible definition we got for what iPod means, is from a random website called mariosalexandrou.com</
