Launched on October 2001 as portable music device, Apple Ipod today, come in a range of varied shapes and sizes with some of the most advanced features to offer. The group of some of the most choicest music gadgets found world wide come with variety of functionalities. Along with the portable HDD-based flagship model of an iPod classic, there are ones in the range of iPod touch. Today, if there are ones like video iPod nano, with ability to show videos, there are iPod shuffle; simpler yet powerful enough to perform.

While the range of current iPod classic models play files saved on to an internal hard drive, there are other models that run using removable flash memory. Thus resulting in small size and increased ease of portability. While connected to a computer, these portable gadgets get recognised as external data storage devices.

To facilitate better listening experience Apple offers iTunes software along with the bundle. iTune software aids in easy transfer of music files to the iPods. The software also comes with a program that creates music library on the computer from which the data is gathered. In addition to playing and transferring songs from computer to the portable device, iTune software can burn and rip music from a CD as well. The same software also aids in fast sending of photos, games, and videos to iPods.

While an iPod is designed to play mp3 files, the series of these digital audio players also supports AAC/M4A, Audible audiobook, protected AAC, AIFF, WAVand Apple Lossless audio file formats. Now watch your photo in any of JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, or even in PNG image file formats.

Several newer versions of iPod can also play videos in MPEG-4 (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC) and QuickTime format. Now if you are in a fix over playing a music in Microsoft’s WMA audio format just add a converter nowadays packaged with Windows version of iTunes. To play MIDI files also, one can convert the same with the help of iTunes’ ‘advanced’ menu. Once after installing a customised firmware onto the iPod, files in any of the open-source audio formats like Ogg Vorbis and FLAC can be played too.

All of us folks who are lucky enough to already have an iPhone know how much fun they can be just to play around with. Playing with my iPhone a lot myself, I have discovered some cool tips and tricks that you may find useful.

1. If you tap once at the very top of the screen when you are on the internet, it will take you back to the top of the window rather than having to scroll all the way back up. A nice time saving feature.

2. If you set the font to the smallest size, you can read more in the internet window. An advantage of this is that when you want to click a link, you can pinch (expand) that area and the link will come up very large, making it much easier to click.

3. Rather than posting the full address of internet sites in bookmarks, you can post the equivalent RSS address instead into Apple’s RSS reader and save that as your bookmark. This way you can quickly see if there’s anything interesting on your favorite site rather than downloading the whole homepage.

4. If you are writing something and the iPhone flags a word as misspelled that you know is not misspelled, cancel the correction 3 times and the word will be put into the dictionary. If you write a lot, this feature is quite useful!

5. The magnifying glass is a nice iPhone tool when you are typing an email or any other text. If you tap once and hold, a magnifying glass will pop up showing you a zoomed in view of your words and cursor. You can now easily place the cursor wherever you want. This makes editing your writing very easy.

6. You can move icons around, but not on the home screen. You have to go to the ipod section. Go to iPod > More > Edit. Now you can drag your icons all around. This can also be done in the phone section.

7. To reset your iphone, hold down the right button and the “home” front button for about 6 seconds. To power it back on, push the top button. This is different than a regular shutdown, which can be done easily by holding the sleep/wake button for 6 seconds.

8. If you get a lot of spam e-mail or other unwanted e-mail, pay attention to this time saving feature. Add a link to Yahoo mail in Safari bookmarks. From there you can check ‘delete all’ to remove all unwanted e-mails. This is much easier than deleting hundreds of spam e-mails one at a time.

I hope you found these iphone tips helpful. If you have an iPhone and have been wondering how best to fill it up with music and movies, check out Top iPhone Downloads for the latest reviews of iPhone download sites.
