Ultra-Thin Digital Music Players
The super-slim iPod redefines what a digital music player should be. It downloads
music at blazing speed and can hold up to 7500 song—so you can take your entire
music collection with you wherever you go. It weighs only 5.6 ounces—which is
incredibly, 15% lighter than 2 CDs! It is also 65% smaller than a CD and just
0.62 inches thick, so it comfortably fits in the palm of your hand or pocket — and
your life. Yet it offers a huge 10GB, 15GB or 30GB hard drive. Do the math: that’s
space enough to store three weeks of music — played continuously, 24/7 — or one
new song a day for the next 20 years. Available for Mac and Windows the iPod
incorporates hassle-free functionality and stunning, well-considered design that
places it far ahead of the curve and the competition. Use the touch wheel to quick-
ly and easily scroll through an entire music collection—using just one hand!
◆ The iPod is designed for listening to digital
music away from your computer — Mac or
Windows—and one simple connection does
it all.A handy dock connector on the bot-
tom enables the iPod to link to a computer
and sync files via FireWire 400 (Mac or
Windows) or USB 2.0 (Windows only). The
result? Blazingly fast transfer speeds that let
you load an album in as little as 10 seconds.
◆ The 15GB and 30GB iPod come with a dock
that makes charging and syncing easier than
ever.An elegant, convenient home base for
iPod on a desk or connected to a home
stereo system,the dock provides syncing via
FireWire or USB 2.0, charging via FireWire
and audio line out for connecting to pow-
ered speakers or a stereo system.
◆ Designed to give you the best portable digi-
tal music experience ever,the iPod delivers
the highest sound quality from input to out-
put. iPod supports the most popular audio
formats including MP3 (up to 320 kbps),
MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR) and WAV —
giving you access to a wide range of audio
file types.And iPod is the only portable digi-
tal music player that supports the AAC for-
mat (Mac-only),which features CD-quality
audio in smaller file sizes than MP3, so you
can fit even more songs on your iPod.
