  IPod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As of the 5th generation iPod, Apple discontinued using FireWire for data transfer and made a full transition to USB 2.0, due to its widespread adoption.
Apple stated that the original fifth generation 60 GB and 30 GB iPods had battery lives of up to 20 hours and up to 14 hours music playback respectively, when used on controlled and limited tests.
Apple investigated the case with independent auditors and concluded, that while working and living arrangements, compensation for work done, and worker treatment were in line with the acceptable standards set forth in Apple's Code of Conduct, workers often voluntarily worked longer and for more consecutive days than the Code of Conduct's limit.

 EFF: Prelude to a Fake Complaint
Apple has been fully aware, as has most of the world, that for the past several years, millions of computer users have been engaging in unauthorized reproduction and distribution of music files using P2P software such as Napster, Audiogalaxy, Aimster, KaZaA, Morpheus, Grokster, Limewire, Bearshare, and eDonkey.
Defendant Apple knew this and hence made the calculated decision to intentionally induce and enhance the attractiveness of infringement by providing these infringers with a device to enhance the rewards of their illegal labors — the iPod.
Apple could have, at a minimum, designed its iPod to play only music files with content protection and further, could have designed its iTunes software to only rip CDs into a protected format that would not allow further promiscuous hand-to-hand copying.

 Apple iPod reviewed on AudioRevolution.com
The first thing I noticed about the Apple iPod when I cracked open the box was a sticker right on the screen saying, "Do not steal music!" It dawned on me that this may be the best use of reverse psychology I have ever witnessed.
The Apple iPod is Steve Jobs' latest attempt at wooing Apple loyalists with yet another unbelievably sexy product in an entirely new product category specifically designed for Apple’s target market –; Generations X and Y. The Apple iPod is an MP3 storage device, created by the Apple industrial design team led by Jonathan Ive.
An Apple representative said it was a Christmas present to all of the Apple loyalists, but it is hard to imagine Apple closing the door on Windows users with such an hot item.

 Apple iPod 40GB - Review, Specs, Prices

The Ipod is very cool because Apple uses rock groups and cool comercials to make people think they can not live with out it.
Another problem the Ipods have is the ear phone plug in on the Ipod., they are weak and do not last.

 Apple's iPod
The iPod recharges completely in about 3 hours through the FireWire cable while connected to your computer, or you can plug it in directly to a two-prong power outlet through an included adapter.
You can use your iPod to keep track of your schedule by using Apple's iSync to synchronize it with iCal, Apple's calendar application (both iSync and iCal require Mac OS X version 10.2).
Even though the iPod's cost may seem a bit steep for a MP3 player (a good price for a 5 GB version is $269 at the Computer Connection), it is well worth it for many users.

 AppleInsider | Apple to tackle consumer electronics; iPod "boombox" planned
Apple is known to have been in talks with Sirius Satellite Radio over the past year, but even the most recent reports on the subject imply a partnership between the two companies has yet to materialize.
This is due largely in part to Apple's marketing, a vast increase in the number of world-wide iPod distribution points and rising iPod accessory attach rates over the last couple of years.
The forthcoming iPod companion products have been under development inside Apple's iPod division for the better part of the year, with the origins of at least one product dating back to 2003, according to sources.

I saw that a case was included on the Apple website...basically the case, as you might suspect, is pretty bad.
I went to the closest Apple store, and within 5 minutes, I left with a brand new replacement iPod at no cost to me. Since is was technicaly my fault, I should have had to pay a large fee.
Anyway, iPods would be the perfect device if it included a radio and voice recording...and oh yeah, don't breathe on it too hard or it will scratch.

Third-party apps are emerging that can handle the necessary formats--Videora has just released a free iPod converter program (though I had limited success with it, as iTunes refused to copy some of the converted videos to the device).
The battery life of the new iPod is reasonable, too: When I played back the aforementioned videos, the unit lasted around 2.5 hours--a little less than some of the dedicated players that I've seen, but long enough for most commutes.
The new iPod adds video capabilities, but its great-looking screen is a bit too small for extending viewing.

There were sexier announcements made by Steve Jobs last week, like the new line of nanos — super slenderized, brushed aluminum 4GB models that come in pink, green, blue and silver (for $199) and the bold fl one ($249) with 8GB capacity.
However, I thought the 80GB iPod was more situated at the center of Apple's big picture: movie downloads at the iTunes Store and a future in the living room.
I connected the 80GB iPod to a dock with an S-Video output, and connected that to a 42-in.
