Is the End to the iPod
The iPod was released on October 23 2001 and in its various formats has sold over 220,000,000.
One of the major reasons that the company decicded to tackle the market is they felt that the equipment available was pretty bad. 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 reason that the pod was put into windows format too is because more people tend to have winodws than Mac. However they optimised on this by building the 2nd generation and allowed Windows users to use the hardware on their pc. 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?
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 real truth behind all of this is most likely because of the iPhone now being available to everyone.
The pod sales are down but the phone sales are up but it is not to be forgotten that the phone comes with an iPod within it. 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.
