When the fourth generation of Apple iPod was released, people speculated changes here and there. Btu Apple did not make any of the speculations come true. And it wasn’t necessary either, as the devices have been wildly successful and no one has really beaten the company at the portable audio player game yet. But even though the new iPod isn’t a flawless picture, there sure are a few problems.

For starters, the new Apple iPod distorts quite a bit at some point, when users are using the equalization settings. Harmonic distortion is minimal really without equalization, but most audio setups do get a bit distorted on the higher notes. Bass response is pretty much on the lower end of most music, about 5dB lower at 40Hz. In keeping with this important feature, the device has an integrated click wheel and buttons, a sure improvement over separate buttons. Large iPods are now recharged from USB and battery life is around 12 hours.

Another reason why an Apple iPhone has caught on is the sheer number of aftermarket products and accessories. Without a doubt, there is much more available than any of the other large hard drive players out there. You can expand the capabilities of the hardware and software to make the functions of the PDA possible. In addition, you can make exciting games, interesting recordings, wireless transitions, etc. Apple iPhone is also very modern and stylish. It is available in many colours, which are vibrant and energetic, something that is apt to signify the power and pulse of a musical device.

Apple’s iPhone is a cult, it’s a social phenomenon. It’s something the MTV generation identifies with and feels one with. This rugged device has millions of pleased and satisfied users and despite the failure of some audio distortion, it has had a huge following.
