Apple iPod 80 Gb MP3 Player

The Apple iPod is the quintessential MP3 player on the market today. It is the most stylish and trendsetting consumer electronics product to have hit the market since the Walkman, and it’s unsurprising that Apple has cornered the market with its range of MP3 players.

The iPod started out in 2001 as an MP3 player with unique features such as touch-wheel navigation and a 1,000-song storage capacity. It has now evolved into a digital media player that lets you listen to music, view and share photos, watch movies and play games. Apple is constantly introducing new technology, and the latest 80GB iPod has enough memory to store around 20,000 songs.

You can buy the iPod from many online retailers, including Apple’s own online store, which offers exclusive limited edition models. Apple also runs the iTunes store, where you can buy songs from all your favourite artists.

Here are details of some of the different versions of the Apple iPod that you can buy online:
