I-pod- Is It a Lost Cause?

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

They felt that the current portable music hardware was either too small and rubbish or too big and clunky which is why they went about thinking about the iPod. This is when Steve Jobs decided to get his team to design something that would work and be of use to people listening to their music on the go.

the first iPod diod not allow windows users to use it and that was sown out of spite more than anything but was later put into the mark 2 as more people would buy the product. Of course the snd generation of iPods were able to be used on the window systems. Newer generations seem to be released every year now with previous including mini, shuffle and video with the newest being touch. One of the major 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. However there is a likelihood that this is not down to the fact that people do not want iPods anymore but down to the fact that Apple now have the iPhone on the market.

The iPhone of course comes with an iPod already built into it which means that although the sales are down on the iPod the sales of the iPhone are soaring. One of the big issues is the price. With each new iPod comes a bigger price and half the problem could be that with the recession people are just finding it hard to come up with the money for a new gadget every year.

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.
