Hello

My son keeps showing me a picture of a ipod or a ipad Confused saying "I want one of these for Christmas dad"

(Now not being a Techie kind of chap) What is the difference between the ipod/ipad.

To me They look like a glorified mp3 but for the price they must be smarter than that Exclamation

Can someone help Very Happy .

An ipod is indeed an mp3 player (plus a bit more) whilst an ipad is a tablet computer. Suggest you look here at Apple's website where all is no doubt explained.

Just to confuse things further, an ipod Touch is basically an iphone minus the phone.

Ipod Touch is a great gift. It's a music and video player, plus you can download apps (it has wifi), basically a smaller, lower spec ipad.

Granted most apps do cost, (from about 69p) but compared to say a new game for a Nintendo Ds (Ģ27.99 ?) it can work out quite cheap.

I think that pc world have them for Ģ159 with a free docking station... I'm guessing that most kids would love that for christmas Wink

Aren't you lucky that you only have one son showing you pictures.

We have three kids and they already have ipods, guess what they want. Sad

Of course and the funny thing is as they get older the lists get shorter but the cost goes up Surprised

Now you know its an ipod they want, you now have to decide which version to choose. They come in three flavours, 8gb, 32gb and 64gb, depends on how much music, photos and films you want to store on it.
The 64gb is very expensive but to put it into perspective, I currently have about 200 albums (whats an album dad?) and 50 odd photos on mine and its only used about a third of its space. I would think films also take up a fair bit of space but I don't use mine for that.

Another thing, the flashy chrome backing will get scratched without protection so get a good cover for it.

I recently fell out of love with my ipod, they can be a real pain come software update time especially when you have non Apple music on them.
Now its sorted and i'm back in love with it. Smile

Just another thought, you can get them engraved free via the apple store which is a nice touch but won't help if you want to sell it on later.

6 Children eh, hope they don't all want 64gb ipods Shocked Laughing
