It's the player everyone's talking about! This Apple iPod sports the same clean, elegant design, user-friendly interface, and slim build (only 11/16" thick) that earlier iPods made famous. But it only works with Macintosh®, right? Not anymore! Today's iPods can connect to a Mac® or to a Windows® PC via FireWire® (IEEE 1394) or USB 2.0 (see requirements below). And this 15GB model can hold up to 246 hours of 128Kbps music — that's about 3,700 songs!
Plus, Apple replaced the iPod's earlier scroll wheel and buttons with touch-sensitive controls that are more durable and easier to use. And the controls, like the LCD screen, are backlit, so you can find that favorite track or playlist with ease, even when the lights are low. Four games are included — you can even play while you listen to your favorite music! A notes reader lets you view text that you've downloaded from your computer, and the contacts list and appointment calendar help you stay organized.
This iPod weighs just 5.6 ounces — less than two CDs weigh — so it makes an unobtrusive companion during a walk or drive. The wake and sleep timers are handy when you travel. And the iPod comes with a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery — much more cost-effective than disposable batteries.
