OBJECT - Ipod History

iPod is a line of portable media players created and marketed by Apple announced on October 23, 2001, and released on November 10, 2001. The product line-up currently consists of the hard drive-based iPod Classic, the touchscreen iPod Touch, the compact iPod Nano, and the ultra-compactiPod Shuffle. iPod Classic models store media on an internal hard drive, while all other models use flash memory to enable their smaller size (the discontinued Mini used a Microdrive miniature hard drive). As with many other digital music players, iPods can also serve as external data storage devices. Storage capacity varies by model, ranging from 2 GB for the iPod Shuffle to 160 GB for the iPod Classic. All of the models have been redesigned multiple times since their introduction. The most recent iPod redesigns were introduced on September 1, 2010.

DEVELOPMENTS IN PERSONALISATION

The origional classic came in only white. It then developed to black or white, now it is metalic black or metalic silver.

Over the years, every new range of models of ipods that have been relseased, it appears the the range of colours seems to grow. The "classic" ipod is the only ipod which still remains in 2 colours only.
