1 iPod

2 Apple Inc. litigation - Apple iPod, iTunes antitrust litigation
The claims of Apple's changes to its encoding and its refusal to license FairPlay technology to other companies were dismissed by the court 2009, but the allegation of Apple's monopoly on the iPod's music download capabilities between 2004 and 2009 remained as of July 2012

3 Apple Inc. litigation - iPod battery life class action
In 2006 Apple Canada, Inc., also settled several similar Canadian class action suits alleging misrepresentations by Apple regarding iPod battery life.

4 iPodLinux iPodLinux was a µClinux-based Linux distribution designed specifically to run on Apple Inc.'s iPod. When the iPodLinux kernel is booted it takes the place of Apple's iPod Operating System and automatically loads Podzilla, an alternative GUI and launcher for a number of additional included programs such as a video player, an image viewer, a command line shell, games, emulators for Video Game consoles, programming demos, and other experimental or occasionally unfinished software.

5 iPodLinux As of 2011, the project has been inactive for several years, and its website is no longer maintained. Further development of free and open source software for iPods have continued with the Rockbox Project and freemyipod, which have largely supplanted iPodLinux. Some third party installers are still available at

6 iPodLinux - Basic structure
Apple's proprietary iPod OS in contrast uses an invisible boot loader and is based on an ARM processor kernel originally written by Pixo, and the iPod Miller Columns browser program, a GUI written by Apple and Pixo using the Pixo application framework, and other firmware and component drivers written from manufacturer's reference code to support the standard behavior Apple wanted the iPod to have.

7 iPodLinux - Features Besides the kernel, iPodLinux features as a primary component podzilla and podzilla2, applications which provide:

8 An iPod-like user interface
iPodLinux - Features An iPod-like user interface

9 Video playback with sound
iPodLinux - Features Video playback with sound

10 iPodLinux - Features Support for AAC, MP3 and basic OGG playback (4G & 5G Music Player Daemon malfunctions, but can be fixed).

11 iPodLinux - Features Many games, including TuxChess, Bluecube (Tetris clone), Chopper, StepMania (a Dance Dance Revolution clone) and more.

12 iPodLinux - Features Recording through audio jack at much higher quality than Apple's firmware

13 iPodLinux - Features Ability to play the games Doom and Doom II (and presumably any Doom Total Conversion; Chex Quest for instance)

14 iPodLinux - Features Ability to run many emulators, such as iBoy (Nintendo Game Boy Emulator), iNES (Nintendo Entertainment System Emulator), iDarcNES (port of the multiple system emulator DarcNES), iMAME (port of Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator), and iGPSP (Game Boy Advance emulator).

15 iPodLinux - History Schneider was able to use his program with some modifications to make a series of clicks for each byte of the new iPod's bootloader

16 iPodLinux - Server transition
On October 1, 2008 the iPodLinux.org DNS address was updated and the server was online again by October 5, 2008

17 iPodLinux - Compatibility

24 iPodLinux - Compatibility
In ipodlinux, an under development message is given under recording, while in zeroslackr, recording is not displayed at all.

25 iPodLinux - Compatibility
This function continues to be developed and is a useful function for users of older iPod (especially nano users that, with the help of iPodLinux, can get an extremely small media center that can be held in the palm of the hand).

26 iPodLinux - Compatibility
podzilla 2, the second generation of podzilla, and commonly known as pz2, is currently in development and has recently superseded the original version of podzilla. It includes several new features, most notably modularity; users can install new applications without recompiling all of podzilla. This version is the only working set of Podzilla official that will run on 5.5G iPods.

27 IEEE iPod and iPhone iPods released prior iPod with Dock Connector used IEEE 1394a ports for syncing music and charging, but in 2003, the FireWire port was no longer used in iPod and it's succeeded by Dock connector, since then, IEEE 1394 to 30-pin connector cables was made. Apple Inc. dropped support for FireWire cables in iPod nano (4th Generation), iPod touch (2nd Generation), and iPhone 3G in favor of USB cables.

28 Jon Rubinstein - Developing the iPod
The iPod came from Apple's "digital hub" category, when the company began creating software for the growing market of personal digital devices

29 Jon Rubinstein - Developing the iPod
in February, 2001, however, Rubinstein first saw the tiny, 1.8-inch hard disk drive that became a critical component of the iPod

30 Jon Rubinstein - Developing the iPod
By 2004 the business became so important to Apple that the iPod was spun off into its own division, which Rubinstein took over.

31 Jon Rubinstein - Developing the iPod
Other iPod models were released on a regular basis, increasing the device’s capacity, decreasing its size, and adding features including color screens, photo display and video playback. By early 2008, more than 119 million iPods had been sold, making it not only the most successful portable media player on the market today but one of the most popular consumer electronics products of all time.

32 Jon Rubinstein - Developing the iPod
In the 2007 fiscal year, the iPod generated $8.3 billion in revenue, or about a third of Apple's sales.

33 Jon Rubinstein - Developing the iPod
In October 2005, Apple announced that Rubinstein would be retiring on March 31, It was later announced that he would make himself available for up to 20% of his workweek on a consulting basis.

34 History of Apple Inc. - iPod
In October 2001, Apple introduced its first iPod portable digital audio player. The iPod started as a 5 gigabyte player capable of storing around 1000 songs. Since then it has evolved into an array of products including the Mini (now discontinued), the iPod Touch, the Shuffle, the iPod Classic, the Nano, the iPhone and the iPad. Since March 2011, the largest storage capacity for an iPod has been 160 gigabytes.

35 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
In early 2005, Apple unveiled a smaller iPod: the iPod Shuffle, which is about the size of a pack of gum

36 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
For example, they can burn CDs including the purchased songs (although a particular playlist containing purchased music may only be burned seven times), share and play the songs on up to five computers, and, of course, download songs onto an iPod.

37 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
The iTunes Music Store commercial model is one-time purchase, which contrasts with other commercial subscription music services where users are required to pay a regular fee to be able to access musical content (but are able to access a larger volume of music during the subscription).

38 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
The iTunes Music Store was launched in 2003 with 2 million downloads in only 16 days; all of which were purchased only on Macintosh computers. Apple has since released a version of iTunes for Windows, allowing Windows users the ability to access the store as well. Initially, the music store was only available in the United States due to licensing restrictions, but there were plans to release the store to many other countries in the future.

39 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
In January 2004 Apple released a more compact version of their iPod player, the 4 GB iPod Mini. Although the Mini held fewer songs than the other iPod models at that time, its smaller size and multiple colours made it popular with consumers on debut with many stores having "sold out" their initial inventories of the devices.

40 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
In June 2004 Apple opened their iTunes Music Store in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. A European Union version opened October 2004 (actually, a Eurozone version; not initially available in the Republic of Ireland due to the intransigence of the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA) but eventually opened Thursday January 6, 2005.) A version for Canada opened in December On May 10, 2005, the iTunes Music Store was expanded to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland.

41 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
On December 16, 2004, Apple sold its 200 millionth song on the iTunes Music Store to Ryan Alekman from Belchertown, Massachusetts. The download was The Complete U2, by U2. Just under three months later Apple sold its 300 millionth song on March 2, On July 17, 2005, the iTunes Music Store sold its 500 millionth song. At that point, songs were selling at an accelerating annualized rate of more than 500 million.

42 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
On January 11, 2005, an even smaller version of the iPod was announced, this one based on flash memory instead of using a miniaturized Hard Drive. The iPod Shuffle, like its predecessors, proved so popular that it sold out almost immediately, causing delays of up to four weeks in obtaining one within a single week of its debut. This is despite the fact that critics had gawked at the lack of LCD screen in the Shuffle, a norm in almost all current flash memory based mp3 players.

43 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
The iPod is giving an enormous lift to Apple's financial results. In the quarter ending March 26, 2005, Apple earned US$290 million, or 34¢ a share, on sales of US$3.24 billion. The year before in the same quarter, Apple earned just US$46 million, or 6¢ a share, on revenue of US$1.91 billion.

44 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
In July 2005, the iPod was given a color screen, merging the iPod and iPod Photo.

45 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
On September 7, 2005, Apple replaced the iPod Mini line with the new iPod Nano. While some consumers were put off by the high price tag (US$199 for 2 GB), and easily scratchable surface, the Nano had sold 1 million units in the first 17 days.

46 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
A month later, on October 12, 2005 Apple introduced the new 5th generation iPod with video playback abilities. The device is also 40% thinner than a 4th generation iPod and has a larger screen.

47 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
On October 25, 2005, the iTunes Store went live in Australia, with songs selling for A$1.69 each, albums at (generally) A$16.99 and music videos and Pixar short films at A$3.39. Briefly, people in New Zealand were able to buy music off the Australian store. However, that loophole was quickly closed.

48 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
On February 23, 2006, the iTunes Music Store sold its 1 billionth song.

49 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
The iTunes Music Store changed its name to iTunes Store on September 12, 2006 when it began offering video content (TV shows and movies) for sale. Since iTunes' inception it has sold over 2 billion songs, 1.2 billion of which were sold in Since downloadable TV and movie content was added 50 million TV episodes and 1.3 million movies have been downloaded.

50 History of Apple Inc. - iPod and iTunes store
In early 2010, Apple celebrated the 10 billionth song downloaded from the iTunes Music Store.

51 Nike+iPod The Nike+iPod Sports Kit is a device which measures and records the distance and pace of a walk or run. The Nike+iPod consists of a small transmitter device attached to or embedded in a shoe, which communicates with either the Nike+ Sportband, a receiver plugged into an iPod Nano, or directly with a 2nd Generation iPod Touch (or higher), iPhone 3GS (or higher) or a Nike+ Sportwatch. If using the iPod or the iPhone, iTunes software can be used to view the walk or run history.

52 Nike+iPod On September 7, 2010, Nike released the Nike+ Running App (originally called Nike+ GPS), which used a tracking engine powered by MotionX that does not require the separate shoe sensor or pedometer. This application works using the accelerometer and GPS of the iPhone and the accelerometer of the iPod Touch (which does not currently contain a GPS chip). It is free in the App Store.

53 Nike+iPod - Overview Nike+ was a collaboration between Nike and Apple; the platform consisted of an iPod, a wireless chip, Nike shoes that accepted the wireless chip, and an iTunes membership

54 Nike+iPod - Overview The receiver displays information comparable to that of the iPod kit on the built-in display

55 Nike+iPod - Overview Once the user syncs an iPod with iTunes, the cardio workouts are automatically stored at Nikeplus.com, where each workout is visualized and tracked based on the number of calories burned

56 Nike+iPod - Overview With the release of the second-generation iPod Touch in 2008, Apple Inc. included a built-in ability to receive Nike+ signals, which allowed the iPod to connect directly to the wireless sensor thus eliminating the need for an external receiver to be connected. Apple also added this capability to the iPhone 3GS (released 2009), iPhone 4 (2010), and third-generation iPod Touch (2009). Those devices use their Broadcom Bluetooth chipset to receive the signals.

57 Nike+iPod - Overview Polar WearLink+ that works with Nike+ communicates directly with the fifth generation iPod nano and Nike+ SportBand using a proprietary digital protocol but it is dual-mode so it is also compatible with most Polar training computers (all those using 5 kHz analog transmission technology).

58 Nike+ has 18 million global users.
Nike+iPod - Overview Nike+ has 18 million global users.

59 Nike+iPod - Overview In iOS (and possibly higher), a hole in the compatibility for the app has allowed jailbroken iPad users to use the native Nike + iPod iPhone and iPod app by moving the app bundle and setting permissions for the app

60 Nike+iPod - Sports kit equipment
Nike has released the sensor for individual sale meaning that consumers no longer have to purchase the whole set (the iPod receiver and sensor)

61 Nike+iPod - Sports kit equipment
After-market solutions are available to users who do not want to use shoes with built-in or hand-made pockets for the foot sensor, such as shoe pouches and containment devices designed to affix the sensor against the shoe laces. No matter how the sensor is integrated with the user's shoes, care must be taken that it is firmly fixed in place and will not jerk around while in use, which would degrade the accuracy.

62 Nike+iPod - Sports kit usage
The user then must press the center button on the iPod to begin the workout.

63 Nike+iPod - Sports kit usage
Audio feedback is provided in the user's choice of generic male or female voice by the iPod over the course of the workout, depending on the type of workout chosen

64 Nike+iPod - Sports kit usage
The Center button has two functions: audio feedback about the current distance, time, and pace are provided when the button is tapped once, while if the button is held down the iPod skips to the "PowerSong" - an audio track chosen by the user, generally intended for motivation.

65 Nike+iPod - Sports kit usage
In addition to the in-workout audio feedback, there are pre-recorded congratulations provided by Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods, Joan Benoit Samuelson, and Paula Radcliffe whenever a user achieves a personal best (such as fastest mile, fastest 5K, fastest 10K, longest run yet) or reaches certain long-term milestones (such as 250 miles, 500 kilometers). This "celebrity feedback" is heard after the usual end-of-run statistics.

66 Nike+iPod - Sports kit usage
While the Sports Kit can be used immediately after purchase, it will report more accurate results if it is calibrated before the first usage and then regularly afterwards

67 Texas Instruments MSP430-series microcontroller
Nike+iPod - Hardware Texas Instruments MSP430-series microcontroller

68 Nike+iPod - Wireless protocol data and privacy concerns
The shoe sensor broadcasts a packet once a second while the user is walking or running, and for ten seconds after the user stops moving

69 Nike+iPod - Online integration
Workout data is stored in XML files on the iPod, which has led some web and applications programmers to offer alternatives to the official Nike reports.

70 Nike+iPod - Online integration
Recently, there have been several more additions to the Nike+ website including but not limited to: a challenge gallery where all user created challenges are viewable, the ability to name the route taken when running or walking, compatibility with the new iPod Nano (fifth generation), a distance club to view everyone's total distance traveled, fastest 5K et cetera.

73 Macintosh startup - Sad iPod
On the iPod, if damage or an error occurs in the hardware or the firmware, for example, if its files are deleted, a Sad iPod appears. This is similar to the Sad Mac, but instead of a Macintosh, there is an iPod, and there is no chimes of death. The icon also lacks a nose, and the trail off is on the other side. It also doesn't show hexadecimal codes indicating what problem occurred in the iPod. This error screen might not show up when a problem occurs in the newer iPods today.

74 Apple Inc. advertising - iPod
The silhouette commercials are a family of commercials in a similar style that form part of the advertising campaign to promote the iPod, Apple's portable digital music player.

75 iPod advertising Apple has used a variety of advertising campaigns to promote its iPod portable digital media player. The campaigns include television commercials, print ads, posters in public places, and wrap advertising campaigns. These advertising techniques are unified by a distinctive, consistent style that differs from Apple's other ads.

76 iPod advertising - Original ad
He then dances and hops around the room, then puts on his jacket, sliding the iPod into the pocket

77 iPod advertising - Original ad
One of the problems, noted Apple ad agency creative director Ken Segall, was the use of what he termed a 'real person.' Steve Jobs, he stated, avoided using people in his ads because it was difficult to find an actor who appealed to everyone. Another problem was that, "It was somewhat uncomfortable to watch, and on the web some started to refer to it as the iClod commercial...it was a young guy trying to act cool, and doing so in a fairly pitiful way".

78 iPod advertising - Silhouette Style
Susan Alinsangan, a Chiat/Day art director, came up with the design of the iPod silhouette commercials in 2003, along with the help of Chiat/Day's director Lee Clow, and James Vincent, a former DJ and musician.

79 iPod advertising - Silhouette Style
Instead, it did what Apple does best: it created an iconic image, which immediately came to communicate Apple and iPod."

80 iPod advertising - Silhouette Style
At first, however, Steve Jobs did not like the Silhouette campaign when it was presented to him. He was not certain that the silhouettes would work since they didn't show the product in detail and they didn't explain what the iPods did. The ad designers fought to convince Steve and copywriter James Vincent suggested adding the tagline "1,000 songs in your pocket" to address the issue. Steve Jobs decided to go with it. He would later claim it was his idea to push for the more iconic ads.

81 iPod advertising - Silhouette Style
The white earbuds also became an icon signifying the iPod itself

82 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
The original television commercials and posters featured solid black silhouettes against a solid bright color, which usually changed every time the camera angle changed. Some of the television adverts also depict highlights on the silhouettes using darkened shades of the background color, and shadows on the floor. Since then, various commercials in the campaign have changed the format further:

83 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
By the time of the advent of the iTunes Store in 2003 the ads became as much a vehicle to promote the music and the music store as the device itself. Variants of adverts with differing soundtracks were run for every iPod to enable many current artists of various successful genres to appeal to as wide a base of potential users.

84 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
The next live action TV commercial (iPod 3G "Wild Postings") that returned to the format of the original 1G advert made reference to the silhouette theme to emphasize its icon status. It involved a man walking past a set of silhouette posters, which came to life and danced when his iPod was playing, but froze when he paused it. The song used was "Ride" by The Vines.

85 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
Artists songs to appear in iPod /iTunes adverts include: U2, The Resource, Cut Chemist, Feist, Caesars, The Prototypes, Will Holland, Feature Cast, Gorillaz, Jet, N.E.R.D, Steriogram, Daft Punk, The Black Eyed Peas, Ozomatli, Wolfmother, The Fratellis, Nicodemus & Quantic, The Ting Tings, Coldplay. Many Record Labels despite their past issues with the iTunes Store are keen to get their artists featured to benefit from the promotion of new material.

86 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
in 2004, Wired Magazine featured a new service where people could create their own iPod ads from their personal photos. Website is still up at iPod My Photo but iPod ads generation has been discontinued.

87 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
The TV commercial (featuring Caesars song Jerk It Out) for the first version of the iPod shuffle used a green background with black arrows moving in the background representing the "shuffle" icon. The silhouettes danced on top of the arrows as if they were a moving floor while listening to iPod shuffles hanging from white lanyards.

88 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
The camera shots alternate between the artists performing their songs (Eminem sporting a white microphone, Marsalis' drummer sporting white drumsticks) and traditional silhouette dancers listening to iPods

89 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
In early 2006 a new type of iPod commercial (Cubicle) was released. It was thirty seconds, and it spotlighted album art. The album art was constructed into a city, and then dismantled and it flowed into an iPod nano and said "1,000 songs in your pocket", the slogan for the 1st Generation iPod Nano.

90 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
In this new style, the only silhouette facet of it was that it seemed lighting was reduced on the figure of Bob Dylan and the female dancer, while the iPod was brightened

91 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
In September 2006, Apple once again reimagined their vision of the silhouette ad campaign to go with the new iPod nano aluminum case. They made a departure from the contrasting background and characters. Both the characters and the background are thrown into deeper shadow than we've ever seen before, and, in order to showcase the new colors of the nano, the characters swing their nanos around while dancing, which leaves a luminescent light trail.

92 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
In November 2006 Apple used their original style again in their Latino TV Ad to mark the launch of iTunes Latino at the store.

93 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
Also in November 2006, Apple released a new ad (Put some music on) for the second generation iPod shuffle, which featured people clipping the minuscule player to different articles of clothing while jamming to the beat of Prototypes' "Who's Gonna Sing?".

94 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
At Macworld 2007, Apple debuted their new ad campaign, featuring a reverse color scheme of previous campaigns: Colored silhouettes on a black background, as well as a second styled ad featuring colored silhouettes amongst a dynamic, moving and multi-colored background.

95 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
Paul McCartney walking and strumming a mandolin performing his song "Dance Tonight" being very much like an updated version of the Eminem commercial, having backdrops of buildings and featuring McCartney walking with animations of shapes around him.

96 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
In November 2007, Apple released a new ad (Queen) using a similar formula to the one used with the "Mi Es Tropical" ad (by Nicodemus and Quantic), but with a light emanating from the background as if the characters were on a stage. This time the ad is featuring Mary J. Blige along with a group of dancer in silhouette form. The song is "Work That" from the album "Growing Pains".

97 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
YouTube member njhaley (More commonly known as Nick Haley) created a fan commercial of the iPod touch. Apple was impressed with the commercial and then contacted him about putting the commercial on the air. He and Apple's advertising agency TBWA then got to work on making a more polished version of the Ad which ran during the 2007 World Series on Fox.

98 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
iPod Touch adverts increasingly move to promote the computing, gaming and internet purposes of the product with background music often being the only reminder its a music player too. At the same time iPod adverts have started to decline as the priority for production and sales shifts to the computing platform devices such as the iPod Touch and iPhone.

99 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
In April 2008, a new ad (Gamma) was released following the original formula with representation of both earphones and iPod Classics – but with animated backgrounds and more detailed silhouettes. The song was "Shut Up and Let Me Go" by The Ting Tings

100 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
On May 20, 2008, a new ad (Sonic) premiered during the American Idol finale. It follows the original form but with even more animated backgrounds and Coldplay is shown in the shadow. The song was Viva la Vida by Coldplay. It does not feature a material presence to an iPod or earphones but reminds viewers the Coldplay song is available on iTunes.

101 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
2009 sees the release of the 5th version of the iPod Nano with built-in camera, the style of advert (Capture) retains constant cutting from different pods with different users continues but now features the actor/ess now visible within the iPod display whilst they perform on the other side of our view of the iPod.

102 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
In 2011 coinciding with the long awaited release of The Beatles back-catalogue on iTunes Store, 5 adverts were released featuring one with live footage off The Ed Sullivan Show but in the others use of the Ken Burns effect on stock photos of the beatles in their recording days.

103 iPod advertising - Evolution of the Silhouette Style
U2 appeared in two adverts not counting the promotional material for the early U2 styled iPod.

104 FairPlay - Harmony: RealPlayer Music on the iPod
While using RealPlayer to transfer a Helix DRM-restricted song onto the iPod, Harmony transparently converts it to a FairPlay-compatible protected file

105 FairPlay - Harmony: RealPlayer Music on the iPod
:We are stunned that RealNetworks has adopted the tactics and ethics of a software cracking|hacker to break into the iPod, and we are investigating the implications of their actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act|DMCA and other laws. We strongly caution Real and their customers that when we update our iPod software from time to time it is highly likely that Real's Harmony technology will cease to work with current and future iPods.

106 FairPlay - Harmony: RealPlayer Music on the iPod
RealNetworks launched an internet petition titled Hey Apple! Don't break my iPod, encouraging iPod users to sign up to support Real's action. The petition backfired badly. The overwhelming majority of posters reacted negatively. The main points of criticism against Harmony were:

107 FairPlay - Harmony: RealPlayer Music on the iPod
* Many posters accused RealNetworks of astroturfing with the petition they had created.

108 FairPlay - Harmony: RealPlayer Music on the iPod
* RealNetworks was criticised for hypocrisy in keeping its own intellectual property and products closed, while asking Apple to open up the iPod.

109 FairPlay - Harmony: RealPlayer Music on the iPod
* The move was also denounced as an attempt to force Apple into a partnership that would only benefit RealNetworks.

110 FairPlay - Harmony: RealPlayer Music on the iPod
Apple did disable Harmony around the time of the iPod photo launch, and to older versions shortly after in firmware updates. The change makes it so that all music (past and present) purchased through the RealPlayer Music Store will not work on Apple's iPod. In response, Real said they would get it working again.

111 FairPlay - Harmony: RealPlayer Music on the iPod
In August 2005, an SEC filings|SEC filing by RealNetworks disclosed that continued use of the Harmony technology put themselves at considerable risk because of the possibility of a lawsuit from Apple, which would be expensive to defend against, even if the court agreed that the technology is legal

112 FairPlay - Harmony: RealPlayer Music on the iPod
Harmony never resurfaced as an option by RealNetworks.

113 VoiceOver - iPod Shuffle
After its success on Macs, Apple added VoiceOver to the iPod Shuffle. This enabled users of the iPod Shuffle to minimally control the playback of songs by having titles read out. With the 2010 revision of iPod Shuffle, the user can also have VoiceOver read out playlists. Unlike VoiceOver on OS X, where VoiceOver is marketed as an accessibility feature, on the iPod Shuffle VoiceOver is intended to be used by everyone, disabled or not.

114 VoiceOver - iPod nano In September 2009, Apple launched this feature on the iPod Nano line. It uses many of the same gestures as the iOS version.

115 IPod The 'iPod' is a line of portable media players designed and marketed by Apple Inc. The first line was released on October 23, 2001, about 8½ months after iTunes (Macintosh version) was released. Its most recent redesigns were announced on September 12, There are four current versions of the iPod: the ultra-compact iPod Shuffle, the compact iPod Nano, the touchscreen iPod Touch, and the Hard Drive-based iPod Classic.

116 IPod Like other digital music players, iPods can serve as external USB mass storage device class|data storage devices. Storage capacity varies by model, ranging from 2GB for the iPod Shuffle to 160GB for the iPod Classic. The devices are controlled by the Samsung ARM architecture|ARM and the Apple A5 central processing unit|CPUs.

117 IPod Apple's iTunes software (and other software) can be used to transfer music, photos, videos, iPod game|games, contact information, settings, Web bookmarks, and calendars, to the devices supporting these features from computers using certain versions of Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Microsoft Windows|Windows Operating Systems.

118 IPod Prior to iOS 5, the iPod branding was used for the media player included with the iPhone and iPad, a combination of the Music and Videos apps on the iPod Touch. As of iOS 5, separate apps named Music and Videos are standardized across all iOS-powered products.

400 IPod click wheel The 'iPod click wheel' is the navigation component of several iPod models. It uses a combination of touch technology and traditional buttons, involving the technology of capacitive sensing, which senses the energy of the user's fingers. The wheel allows a user to find music, videos, photos and play games on the device. The wheel is flush on the face of the iPod and is located directly underneath the screen.

401 IPod click wheel The design was first released with the iPod Mini, and was last used with the iPod Classic.

407 IPod Nano The 'iPod Nano' (stylized and marketed as 'iPod nano') is a portable media player designed and marketed by Apple Inc. The first generation iPod Nano was introduced on September 7, 2005 as a replacement for the iPod Mini. It uses flash memory for storage. The iPod Nano has gone through several differing models, or generations, since its introduction. The current seventh generation iPod Nano was released in October 2012.

408 IPod Nano - Development
Development work on the design of the iPod Nano started only nine months before its launch date

409 IPod Nano - 1st generation
The stated battery life was up to 14 hours, while the screen was 176×132 pixels, diagonal, displaying 65,536 colors (Highcolor|16-bit color).[ iPod Nano (1st Generation) Technical Speifications] – Apple.com 1, 2, and 4 GB capacities were available.

410 IPod Nano - 1st generation
However, shortly after the discontinuation of the 1st generation, Apple has replaced these nanos with newer generations. The recall is still in affect today.

411 IPod Nano - 2nd generation
On September 25, 2006, Apple updated the Nano line

412 IPod Nano - 2nd generation
The 2GB model was available in silver only. The 4 GB was initially available in green, blue, silver, or pink, and the 8 GB model was initially only available in black - red was later added for 4 and 8 GB models. Apple claimed that the second generation iPod Nano's packaging was 32% lighter with 52% less volume than the first generation, thereby reducing environmental impact and shipping costs.

413 IPod Nano - 2nd generation
On October 13, 2006, Apple announced a special edition iPod Nano; Product Red, with a red exterior and 4 GB of storage. For each red iPod Nano sold in the United States, Apple donates US$10 to the Product Red initiative, while retaining the regular price. On November 3, 2006, Apple introduced a red 8 GB model, due to outstanding customer demand, again retaining the same price point of the equivalent black model.

414 IPod Nano - 3rd generation
On January 22, 2008, Apple released a pink version of the 8GB iPod Nano.

415 IPod Nano - 3rd generation
Combining elements from previous generations of the iPod Nano, the third-generation Nano had an aluminum front plate and a stainless steel back plate. The Nano also sported a new Minimalistic hold switch, similar to the iPod Shuffle's power switch, which had been moved to the bottom of the player. The screen had the smallest dot pitch of any Apple product, having the same pixel count as the display of the iPod Classic.

416 IPod Nano - 3rd generation
The update was also released for the iPod Classic

417 IPod Nano - 4th generation
At the Apple Let's Rock Event on September 9, 2008, the iPod Nano Fourth Generation was officially announced

418 IPod Nano - 4th generation
Also added was an accelerometer which allows the Nano to shuffle songs by shaking it, the option between portrait and landscape display modes by tilting the iPod left or right, and access to Cover Flow when tilted sideways

419 IPod Nano - 4th generation
Also, the iPod Quiz game was dropped and replaced with a Maze game which makes use of the iPod's accelerometer similarly to such games on the iPhone and iPod Touch.

420 IPod Nano - 4th generation
The fourth generation dropped support for charging via FireWire. This change means that any dock accessories that use the dock connector's FireWire pins to send power—many older speakers and car chargers, for example—will not charge the fourth-generation iPod Nano.

421 IPod Nano - 5th generation
At Apple's September 9, 2009 event, a fifth generation iPod Nano was unveiled with reduced prices on the larger model (at the time of release, the 8GB was priced at $149 and the 16GB at $179), a larger, diagonal screen (up from in third and fourth generation iPod Nanos), which was also wider, integrated video camera with 16 special effects, microphone, FM Radio with iTunes|iTunes tagging (via Radio Data System|RDS) multiple radio regions including Americas, Asia, Australia, Europe, and Japan.

422 IPod Nano - 5th generation
As well as continuing to support picture viewing and video playback, it also included Live Pause, a built-in pedometer, Nike+iPod|Nike+iPod Support and a Loudspeaker|speaker. This model also had the Genius Mix feature installed.

423 IPod Nano - 5th generation
The headphone jack and IPod dock connector|dock connector swapped locations so that the headphone jack was to the left of the dock connector. Therefore the fifth generation iPod Nano used a different Apple Universal Dock insert than the fourth generation.

424 IPod Nano - 5th generation
The fifth generation iPod Nano had nine finishes: Silver, Black, Purple, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Product Red, Green and Pink. All have a glossier, shinier finish than the fourth generation. Just like the fourth-generation iPod Nano, Product Red and the yellow Nano were only available on the Apple Online Store and Apple Retail Store.

425 IPod Nano - 5th generation
This generation was discontinued on September 1, 2010.

426 IPod Nano - 6th generation
At a media event on September 1, 2010, Apple announced the sixth generation iPod Nano, which, among many new features, was designed around a high resolution square touch-screen.

427 IPod Nano - 6th generation
The 6th generation iPod Nano had the same price point as the 5th generation device.

428 IPod Nano - 6th generation
On October 4, 2011, the iPod Nano 1.2 update was unveiled at the Apple Let's Talk iPhone event at the Town Hall, 4 Infinite Loop

429 IPod Nano - 6th generation
Although not specifically designed as one, some accessory makers produced watchbands for the 6th generation Nano, allowing it to be worn like a watch. In September 2013, TUAW compared the iPod Nano to the Samsung Galaxy Gear, and considered the three year-old model to be a better, cheaper smartwatch|[smart]watch than the Galaxy Gear because of its more complete functionality in comparison. Not to mention the inclusion of a headphone port compared to no headphone port on the Samsung.

436 IPod Nano - Reception The initial consumer response to the iPod Nano was overwhelmingly positive and sales were heavy. The Nano sold its first million units in only 17 days, helping Apple Inc. to a record billion-dollar profit in 2005.

437 IPod Nano - Reception Apple's release of the iPod Nano as a replacement for the iPod Mini was viewed by many as a risky move. Steve Jobs argued that the iPod Nano was a necessary risk since competitors were beginning to catch up to the iPod Mini in terms of design and features, and believed the iPod Nano would prove to be even more popular and successful than the iPod Mini.

438 IPod Nano - Reception In early 2009, Apple was in the process of settling a court case over the scratched iPod Nano screens

439 IPod Nano - Incidents In Australia, an iPod Nano caught fire while being charged on a PC. Since the limited warranty was expired, the consumer was not able to get a replacement right away.

440 IPod Nano - Incidents In another incident, a man's iPod Nano set his pants on fire while he was working at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Apple Inc., refused to release a statement regarding this issue.

441 IPod Nano - Incidents On August 10, 2010, Apple Japan released a statement saying that it would replace any iPod Nanos that overheated.

442 IPod Nano - Incidents Since 2010, users have been reporting the 6th generation iPod Nano's sleep/wake button remains stuck after months of use, making it impossible to activate the device without the help of a computer or a dock accessory. According to a technical inspection, the device uses double-sided tape to hold the button in place, indicating a possible design fault.

443 IPod Nano - Incidents Because using the iPod nano 6th generation with a Mac computer requires iTunes 10 or higher, which in turn requires Mac OS X Leopard system software, Apple will upgrade the system software of participants running earlier versions of OS X, on request but this leaves users that do not have access to iTunes without a working device (because Apple changed the hashing of the music database which prevented the 6th generation iPod Nano from being used with open source software via libgpod).

448 IPod Mini - Details The iPod Mini used Microdrive hard drives (CompactFlash II) made by Hitachi, Ltd.|Hitachi and Seagate Technology|Seagate. First generation models were available in a 4GB size, while second generation models were available in both 4GB and 6GB versions (quoted as capable of storing roughly 1,000 and 1,500 songs, respectively) and eventually the second generation had the capacity laser engraving|laser etched into the aluminum case.

449 IPod Mini - Details iPod Mini batteries, like many Lithium Ion batteries, run down to 80% capacity after 400 full charge cycles.

450 IPod Mini - Details A Proprietary hardware|proprietary dock connector was provided on the bottom of the device for a connection to a computer's Universal Serial Bus|USB or FireWire port. The unit's battery could be charged during connection. Along the top it had a hold switch, a headphone jack, and a remote connector for accessories.

451 IPod Mini - Details Like the iPod Nano, the iPod Mini supported MP3, Advanced Audio Coding|AAC/M4A, WAV, AIFF, and Apple Lossless audio formats. It also retained the iPod's integration with iTunes and the iTunes Store, allowing for syncing between the software application and the iPod Mini.

452 IPod Mini - Modification
Soon after the release of the iPod Mini, third party replacement batteries have been made available because its capacity decreases over time. There are various manuals for battery replacement on the internet and many outlets selling compatible Lithium-ion batteries for those who wish to avoid the expensive charge for sending the iPod back to Apple. Many such batteries are of higher capacity than the original – some are up to 2000mAh while the stock battery is around 400mAh.

461 Amphipods 'Amphipoda' is an order (biology)|order of malacostracan crustaceans with no carapace and generally with laterally compressed bodies. Amphipods range in size from and are mostly detritivores or scavengers. There are more than 9,500 amphipod species so far described. They are mostly marine animals, but are found in almost all aquatic environments. Some 1900 species live in freshwater, and the order also includes terrestrial animals and Talitridae|sandhoppers such as Talitrus saltator.

462 Amphipods - Etymology and names
The name Amphipoda comes, via the New Latin , from the Greek language|Greek root (linguistics)|roots (different) and (foot), in reference to two kinds of legs that amphipods possess. This contrasts with the related Isopoda, which have a single kind of thoracic leg. Particularly among Angling|anglers, amphipods are known as freshwater shrimp, scuds or sideswimmers.

463 Amphipods - Anatomy The body of an amphipod is divided into 13 segments, which can be tagmosis|grouped into a head, a thorax and an abdomen.

464 Amphipods - Anatomy The head is fused to the thorax, and bears two pairs of antenna (biology)|antennae and one pair of sessile compound eyes. It also carries the arthropod mouthparts|mouthparts, but these are mostly concealed.

465 Amphipods - Anatomy The thorax and abdomen are usually quite distinct and bear different kinds of legs; they are typically laterally compressed, and there is no carapace

466 Amphipods - Anatomy The abdomen is divided into two parts: the pleosome which bears pleopod|swimming legs; and the urosome, which comprises a telson and three pairs of uropods which do not form a tail fan as they do in animals such as true shrimp.

467 Amphipods - Size The size of amphipods is limited by the availability of dissolved oxygen, such that the amphipods in Lake Titicaca at an altitude of can only grow up to , compared to lengths of in Lake Baikal at .

468 Amphipods - Reproduction and life cycle
Mature females bear a marsupium, or brood pouch (Peracarida)|brood pouch, which holds her egg (biology)|eggs while they are fertilisation|fertilised, and until the young are ready to hatch

469 Amphipods - Diversity and classification
Over 9,500 species of amphipods are currently recognized.[ Introduction] World Amphipoda Database (read 15 February 2014) Traditionally they were placed in the four suborders Gammaridea (which contained the majority of taxa, including all the freshwater and terrestrial animal|terrestrial species), Caprellidea, Hyperiidea, and Ingolfiellidea (the latter with only 40 species).

470 Amphipods - Diversity and classification
The classification of the Amphipoda is however being rearranged to better reflect their phylogeny, the relationships within the suborder Gammaridea having suffered from the most confusion. A new classification has been developed in the works of Lowry Myers, where a new large suborder Senticaudata wa split off from the Gammaridea in That taxon, which also encompasses the previous Caprellidea, now comprises over half of the known amphipod species.

471 Amphipods - Diversity and classification
The classification given below, from the taxonomic rank|rank of suborder down to superfamily, however still represents the traditional division as given in Martin Davis (2001), except that superfamilies are recognised here within the Gammaridea.

478 Amphipods - Fossil record
Amphipods are thought to have originated in the Lower Carboniferous. Despite the group's age, however, the fossil record of the order Amphipoda is meagre, comprising specimens of 12 species dating back only as far as the Upper Eocene, where they have been found in Baltic amber.

479 Amphipods - Ecology Notably rich endemic amphipod faunas are found in the ancient lakes Baikal and waters of the Caspian Sea basin.

480 Amphipods - Ecology The landhoppers of the family Talitridae (which also includes semi-terrestrial and marine animals) are terrestrial animal|terrestrial, living in damp environments such as leaf litter. Landhoppers have a wide distribution in areas that were formerly part of Gondwanaland, but have colonised parts of Europe and North America in recent times.

481 Amphipods - Ecology Around 750 species in 160 genera and 30 families are troglobite|troglobitic, and are found in almost all suitable habitats, but with their center of diversity|centres of diversity in the Mediterranean Basin, southeastern North America and the Caribbean.

482 Amphipods - Ecology The most notable example of parasitic amphipods are the whale louse|whale lice (family Cyamidae); unlike other amphipods, these are dorso-ventrally flattened, and have large, strong claws, with which they attach themselves to baleen whales

483 Amphipods - Ecology Most amphipods are detritivores or scavengers, with some being Grazing|grazers of algae, omnivores or predators on small insects and crustaceans. Food is grasped with the front two pairs of legs which are armed with large claws. The incidence of cannibalism and intraguild predation is relatively high in some species, although adults may decrease cannibalistic behaviour directed at juveniles when they are likely to encounter their own offspring.

Two points that are antipodal to each other are connected by a straight line running through the centre of the Earth.

512 Antipodes The antipodes of Australia are in the North Atlantic Ocean, while parts of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco are antipodal to New Zealand.

513 Antipodes Approximately 15% of land territory is antipodal to other land, representing approximately 4.4% of the Earth's surface. The largest antipodal land masses are the Malay Archipelago, antipodal to the Amazon Basin and adjoining Andes|Andean ranges; east China and Mongolia, antipodal to Chile and Argentina; and Greenland and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, antipodal to East Antarctica.

514 Antipodes - Geography The antipodes of any place on the Earth is the place that is diameter|diametrically opposite it, so a line drawn from the one to the other passes through the centre of the Earth and forms a true diameter. For example, the antipodes of New Zealand's lower North Island lies in Spain. Most of the Earth's land surfaces have ocean at their antipodes, this being a consequence of most land being in the land hemisphere.

515 Antipodes - Geography An antipodal point is sometimes called an antipode, a back-formation from the plural antipodes, which in Greek language|Greek is the plural of the singular antipous.

516 Antipodes - Geography The antipodes of any place on Earth are distant from it by 180° of longitude and as many degrees to the north of the equator as the original is to the south (or vice versa); in other words, the latitudes are numerically equal, but one is north and the other south

517 Antipodes - Geography Noon at the one place is midnight at the other (ignoring daylight saving time and irregularly shaped time zones) and, with the exception of the tropics, the longest day at one point corresponds to the shortest day at the other, and Winter solstice|midwinter at one point coincides with midsummer at the other. Sunrise and sunset do not quite oppose each other at antipodes due to refraction of sunlight.

518 Antipodes - Mathematical description
If the geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) of a point on the Earth's surface are (φ, θ), then the coordinates of the antipodal point are (−φ, θ ± 180°). This relation holds true whether the Earth is approximated as a perfect sphere or as a reference ellipsoid.

519 Antipodes - Mathematical description
In terms of the usual way these geographic coordinates are given, this transformation can be expressed symbolically as

520 Antipodes - Mathematical description
that is, for the latitude (the North/South coordinate) the magnitude of the angle remains the same but N is changed to S and vice versa, and for the longitude (the East/West coordinate) the angle is replaced by its supplementary angle while E is exchanged for W. For example, the antipodes of the point in China at (a few hundred kilometres from Beijing) is the point in Argentina at (a few hundred kilometres from Buenos Aires).

521 Antipodes - Etymology The Greek word is attested in Plato's dialogue Timaeus (dialogue)|Timaeus, already referring to a spherical Earth, explaining the relativity of the terms above and below:

522 Antipodes - Etymology The term is taken up by Aristotle (De caelo 308a.20), Strabo, Plutarch and Diogenes Laertius, and was adopted into Latin as antipodes. The Latin word changed its sense from the original under the feet, opposite side to those with the feet opposite, i.e. a bahuvrihi referring to hypothetical people living on the opposite side of the Earth. Medieval illustrations imagine them in some way inverted, with their feet growing out of their heads, pointing upward.

523 Antipodes - Etymology In this sense, Antipodes first entered English language|English in 1398 in a translation of the 13th century De Proprietatibus Rerum by Bartholomeus Anglicus, translated by John of Trevisa:

524 Antipodes - Etymology (In Modern English: Yonder in Ethiopia are the Antipodes, men that have their feet against our feet.)

525 Antipodes - Historical significance
Pomponius Mela, the first Roman geographer, asserted that the earth had two habitable zones, a North and South one, but that it would be impossible to get into contact with each other because of the unbearable heat at the equator.

526 Antipodes - Historical significance
Augustine asserted that it is too absurd to say that some men might have set sail from this side and, traversing the immense expanse of ocean, have propagated there a race of human beings descended from that one first man.[ De Civitate Dei, Book XVI, Chapter 9 — Whether We are to Believe in the Antipodes], translated by Marcus Dods (theologian)|Rev

527 Antipodes - Historical significance
In the Early Middle Ages, Isidore of Seville|Isidore of Seville's widely read Etymologiae|encyclopedia presented the term antipodes as referring to antichthones (people who lived on the opposite side of the Earth), as well as to a geographical place; these people came to play a role in medieval discussions about the Flat earth#Early Middle Ages|shape of the Earth

528 Antipodes - Historical significance
The antipodes being an attribute of a spherical Earth, some authors used their perceived absurdity as an argument for a flat Earth.

529 Antipodes - Historical significance
Christ would either have appeared a second time, in the antipodes, or left them damned irredeemable

530 Antipodes - Historical significance
The author of the Norwegian book Konungs Skuggsjá, from around 1250, discusses the existence of antipodes. He notes that (if they exist) they will see the sun in the north in the middle of the day and that they will have opposite seasons of the people living in the Northern Hemisphere.

531 Antipodes - Historical significance
The earliest surviving account by a European who had visited the Southern Hemisphere is that of Marco Polo (who, on his way home in 1292, sailed south of the Malay Peninsula). He noted that it was impossible to see the star Polaris from there.

532 Antipodes - Historical significance
The idea of dry land in the southern climes, the Terra Australis, was introduced by Ptolemy and appears on European maps as an imaginary continent from the 15th century. In spite of having been discovered relatively late by European explorers, Australia was inhabited very early in human history; the ancestors of the Indigenous Australians reached it at least 50,000 years ago.

533 Antipodes - Air travel between antipodes
The longest non-stop scheduled flight was the discontinued (as of November 2013) Singapore Airlines Flight 21 between Newark, New Jersey and Singapore, covering 15,343km (9,534 miles) in about 18.5 hours flight time, and this was far from a journey between nearly-antipodal locations (Madrid and Auckland are 19,590km apart; Buenos Aires and Beijing are 19,260km apart; Johannesburg and Honolulu are 19,188km apart; New York City and Perth are 18,700km apart). While a flight between antipodal locations by non-supersonic travel might present difficulties for passengers, airlines assign Aircrew#Relief_crew|relief crewmembers to assume their primary pilot positions for designated portions of long-haul flights, allowing those pilots to rest or sleep.[ Relief Crews On Long Haul Flights], Airliners.net, March 18, 2002.

534 Antipodes - Earth Around 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans, and seven-eighths of the Earth's land is confined to the land hemisphere, so the majority of locations on land do not have land-based antipodes.

535 Antipodes - Earth The two largest human inhabited antipodal areas are located in East Asia (mainly eastern China) and South America (mainly northern Argentina and Chile).

536 Antipodes - Earth The Australian mainland is the largest landmass with its antipodes entirely in ocean, although some locations of mainland Australia and Tasmania are close to being antipodes of islands (Bermuda, Azores, Puerto Rico) in the North Atlantic Ocean.
