ipods, iphones + iPADS 2011 Buyers’ Guide The iPod and iPhone Family. Though there are 27* different iPod and iPhone models to choose from this year, the 32GB iPod touch is the family’s high point on features for the dollar, with other models offering relatively good rather than great alternatives. We explain why in upcoming pages; here, we show their individual specifications. iPod classic iLounge iPod shuffle iPod nano MENU 1.14” x 1.24” x 0.34” 1.48” x 1.61” x 0.35” 4.1” x 2.4” x 0.41” Purpose Music & Data Storage Sport-Ready Media Player High-Capacity Media Player Price $49 $149-$179 $249 Storage 2GB 8GB-16GB 160GB Colors 5 7 2 Weight 0.44 Ounces 0.74 Ounces 4.9 Ounces Screen None 1.54” / 240x240 / 220ppi 2.5” / 320x240 / 163ppi Music 15 Hour Battery 24-33 Hour Battery 36-42 Hour Battery Photos None Yes Yes Games None None 3 + ~50 iTunes Downloads Videos None None 6 Hour Battery Rating B B- B- Summary Improved from last year’s version, this audio-only player is cheap and colorful, but lacks for a screen and storage capacity to hold all your music. The switch to a tiny body and touchscreen lost nano its video and gaming features, as well as interface conveniences, but it’s a wearable novelty due to its new rear clip, if overpriced. High storage capacity is the only remaining virtue of this now-ignored model, which wasn’t updated for 2010. Plays audio and videos, but not increasingly important iOS apps or games. 68
