make the screen colour and this emerged with the photo. This model had a larger hard drive and a longer battery life in addition to the ability to display colour photos and album covers.
By now Apple had pretty much conquered the digital audio device market but their next release proved to be a step towards taking over the flash drive market as well. This happened in January 2005 and was named the shuffle. The shuffle was the smallest model yet and didn’t include an LCD screen on the face. However it’s 512MB memory was at least twice the size of its nearest competitor and the fact that it actually shuffled the songs so that the user never knew what was coming next and its very low price of $99 meant that the little sold just as well as every other model before it.
The last of the 4th Generation iPods entered the market in July 2005 and was the tiniest to date. The nano made use of a high capacity flash memory chip which enabled it to have the considerable memory of 4GB but still be…well, nano! The nano had new features as well such as calendars, address books, world times and games.
5th Generation iPodThe newest is the 5th Generation video. This has the capability of playing music videos, TV programmes and films downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. It has all of the features of the nano but as its full colour screen is bigger the overall dimensions are also slightly bigger (not too much though).
As you can see Apple has kept the changes coming and people have carried on buying and there doesn’t seem to be any evidence to say their latest release is their last.
