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 wanted to make something that people were actually proud to have in their pockets and something that looked a bit cool.
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. 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. Another issue is the pricing. The main problem with the ipod is that with each new model comes a bigger price and half the problem seems to be that the recession is making people steer away from the expensive things.
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.
