The concept of music players really had a facelift with the arrival of iPods. The portable media players designed and marketed by Apple Inc. named iPods were launched in October 2001. It was the result of the hub strategy of Apple Inc. that paved way for the entry of iPods.
The company while dealing with various manufacturing of various electronic gadgets felt that the existing digital music players were “big and clunky or small and useless” leading them towards the production of Apple iPods. It took more than a year to get the Apple iPods to get developed. Apple iPods were launched with the catchy caption “1000 songs in your pocket,” that was widely accepted by the music lovers around the globe.
It was Vinnie Chieco, a freelance copywriter, who christened iPod for the product. He was called by Apple to figure out how to introduce the new player to the public that could realy create a storm in the electronic market. The first public demonstration of the iPod kiosks took place in New Jersey in March 1998, and the commercial use started in January 2000. The trademark was registered by the USPTO in November 2003, and Grasso assigned it to Apple Computer, Inc. in 2005. Apple iPods were constructed in the way that they are able to carry MP3, AAC/M4A, Protected AC, AIFF, WAV, Audiable audio book and Apple Lossless audio file formats ensuring perfect and excellent musical entertainment for the user.
Apple iPod succeeded in functioning as a mass storage device that is capable of storing data files. The main and important difference between MP3 players and iPods is that simply copying audio or video files to the drive with a typical file management application does not permit iPod to properly access them. The user must use particular software that has been specifically designed to transfer media files to iPods, to make the files playable and viewable.

The new Nokia n93 is a portable music player, a digital camera, and a 3g smart phone combined into one. It has something for everyone–for the music freaks, for the photography buffs, and for the Internet savvy.
N93 has got so many features that one finds oneself at a loss where to start. Let us first discuss the design of the phone. The phone’s twist-and-flip design allows the user to keep it in four different positions. You can keep it one position for taking photographs and shooting videos, and view the photos and the videos in another position. For calling you just have to fold open the phone. There are two displays: internal and external. The external screen is for displaying basic information like time, date, etc. the internal display is brilliant (TFT screen with 262K colours). The keypad has one-touch keys for the camera, zoom, and flash etc. making it easier for the users to use the phone. Save the weight of the phone, the design is immaculate.
The camera of the Virgin Mobile Nokia n93 is perhaps the best one to have been incorporated in a mobile phone till date. At 3.2 mega pixel (2048×1536 pixels), it is capable of taking high-resolution photographs. Other remarkable features of the embedded camera are Carl Zeiss lens, auto focus, macro mode, integrated flash, and auto exposure. These features could earlier be expected only in special digital cameras. It is a surprise therefore for many that Nokia has been able to incorporate these features into the camera of a Nokia phone.
The video recorder of the Nokia N93 is not far behind the camera when it comes to features. It allows you to shoot videos in the MPEG-4 or 3GP format. The resolution is good and the phone also allows you to shoot videos of up to 60 minutes duration. So you can now make your own movies with the phone and earn admiration for yourself! Coming to the music player, it supports a variety of file formats like MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC, and WMA. The sound output with the supplied stereo headphones is outstanding. The Virgin Mobile music player also supports play lists and equalizer. There is a stereo FM radio as well with visual radio support. No surprise, therefore, that some music freaks are going for the phone just for the music features.
