One of the fastest growing trends is the development of the Apple iPod. Students listen to their iPod when walking to class, working out, doing homework or before sporting events.
iPods have developed into a must have item for college students. Since the first iPods came out in October 2001, a number of different iPods have been developed such as shuffle, nano, classic and touch.
Trevor Adams, graphic design and visual arts junior, said he likes listening to his music when walking to class. He also listens to it during art class when working on projects because it keeps him thinking of ideas.
Adams has had his iPod nano since last Christmas. The only accessory he has is a case. He listens to anything from techno music to rock.
Each iPod comes with a number of features. They can hold a wide variety of songs, movies and games and even let you connect to the Internet.
Brittany Hale, biology sophomore, said she hasn't made the switch from a CD player/walkman to an iPod. She's planning on buying an iPod soon so she can listen to her own music on volleyball road trips and when walking to class.
"I'm thinking about get an iPod Classic because they're a little bigger and will be more durable," Hale said.
According to Apple's Web site, the iPod shuffle is very portable and "the world's most wearable music player." The iPod shuffle is about one inch by one and a half inch in size. It has a clip on the back so you can easily clip it to your sleeve, belt or gym shorts.
The iPod shuffle only plays music and comes in five different colors. Two GB shuffles can hold up to 500 songs and cost $69. A one GB shuffle is the cheapest form of iPod, costing $49 and holds 240 songs.
The most popular iPod is the Nano. The Nano has a two-inch screen letting people watch movies, TV shows or play games. It's available in two different sizes-eight GB or 16 GB. A 16 GB Nano can hold up to 4,000 songs or up to 16 hours of video and costs $199. An eight GB runs for $149 holds, 2,000 songs or eight hours of video.
