The latest in iPods – iPod video
IPods have been a great market hit since their appearance in 2001, almost 5 years
ago. Since listening to music is one of the favorite activities of today’s individuals,
the constant evolution of this device was an important request, so the new
product presented a diverse range of new features, accessories and capacities.
The iPod evolved from a simple and basic music player to a sum of music player,
recorder, and photo viewer and now to a both music and video device.
The most important new feature of the latest generation of iPods, meaning the
5th generation, is the video.
Basically, these inventive and technologically
advanced, yet small devices support both MPEG-4 and H.264 videos at
significantly high resolutions, which are not far from a VSH tape. Actually, in
more precise terms, the H.264 codec can play video at frame rates up to 30
frames per second, video bit rates as high as 768 kilobits per second and pictures
as big as 320 pixels wide by 240 pixels high. Comparing the iPod video with the
TV 27 FPS or the movies 24 FPS, it is obvious that the small device it is much
better. Regarding the audio qualities, comparing to a CD quality, the iPod video
is superior. On the other hand, the MPEG-4 video supports a bit rate of 2,500
kilobits per second and pictures as big as 480 pixels wide by 480 pixels high,
meaning three times the size of the actual screen (in comparison with the H.264
video, which supports pictures the same size as the screen pf the iPod).
The reviews on this item are so far, excellent – the quality of the motion images is
great, with almost perfect colors, even when the device is connected to a TV set in
order to watch a video. Even more, watching the videos on the actual iPod is
possible due to a larger screen, which also allows the high visibility of sharp texts
and photos. Still, even though the battery is claimed to last around 20 hours,
which is an evolution since the last iPod model, the battery is much rapidly
consumed when watching videos.
The range of improvements since the last model of iPod is impressive: the new
video iPod comes with a new design, but in the same black and white colors and
with a new set of accessories, which range from world clock, smaller earphones
and a thinner slipcase to AC adapter and FireWire cable. Concerning the new
package design, the iPod video comes with a new look: the box is flat and in a
square shape; the color of the new box is black with silver accents, such as the
Apple logo and the text.
The latest generation of iPods surprised the market in many ways: from the video
capacities to the other improved features since the last model in 2005 and from
the design and package changes to the wide and evolved range of accessories that
are available together with the new iPod video. The evolution of the iPod shows
an increased interest in constantly developing this device and always considering the needs and desires of the consumer. It is expected that the next generation of iPods to be even more optimized, with a lot of changes in the video settings and a longer capacity of the battery when watching videos. |
