Giving The Gift Of The Perfect Ipod Accessory

Picking the right Ipod accessory as a gift for someone does not have to be a difficult decision. There are many different kinds of accessories available, from video eyewear goggles to waterproof speakers and elaborately patterned protective cases. This article will help you select just the right gift accessory.

First, you should determine which type of Ipod the person has. Some Ipods, like the mini and the shuffle are not compatible with the same accessories that their larger counterparts can be used with. The first generation of Ipods is available in 1GB, 2GB, and 3GB models. The Ipod mini, which was released in 2005, was later replaced by the Ipod nano and featured a Compact Flash Microdrive by Hitachi. The first generation models were available in 4GB versions, while the second generation came in 4GB and 6GB sizes.

Photo or color Ipods came next, and were essentially the same as the Ipod classic, but with the capacity to store and display photos. Ipod Shuffles, which were small, screen free versions, were also released around this same tme. The first generaton of these players were designed for ultimate portability. The next product release was the Ipod nano, which was smaller than the mini and smaller than a pencil, too. This essentially replaced the mini because of its flash memory capability. The video Ipod came next, and is designed to hold files, photos, songs,and of course videos, and comes n 30, 50, and 60 GB versions.

Once you know which type of Ipod the person you are shopping for has, it will be easier to decide which type of accessories to buy. If you are shopping for someone who likes to play sports and go for daily runs, an armband, designed to work with Ipod nanos and shuffles, might be the perfect thing. Some of these armbands are sold with software from Nike that allows you to measure your heart rate, steps per minute, total miles walked, and other related criteria.

If you are buying a gift for someone who really enjoys listening to their favorite Ipod music around the home, consider an Ipod dock. Some are simple, with small speakers, while others are larger, more elaborate, and deliver stereo quality sound. There are many different types, most of which are designed to work with Classic Ipods, nanos, and video Ipods. If you are shopping for a true movie fan, consider video eyewear goggles that are designed to plug into video Ipods and provide an immersive video watching experience.

As you can see giving the perfect Ipod accessory is easy when you know your options.
