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

The company decided that they would tackle this market as they found that the technology in the personal MP3’s were either too big and clunky or too small and useless. 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 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. The real question is, how often can this success carry on for?

The sales of the pod itself have actually seen a bit of a dip this year and this is the first time that this has ever happened before. 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 iPhone actually comes with an iPod already built within it which means that alrthough the sales of the pod are down the phone sales are up. Many people have issues with the pricing. 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.
