Video or 5th Generation iPod

The Fifth Generation iPod (5th Gen iPod), also known as the Video iPod, has a slimmer design than previous versions. It was introduced in white or black with a 30 GB or a 60 GB hard disk drive. This model has a larger screen than its predecessors, photo and video playback capability, and lyrics support. A later revision, sometimes referred to as Generation 5.5 and released in late 2006, added a brighter LCD display, a longer lasting battery, and the option for an 80 GB hard disk drive. USB is used for syncing and internal 5th Generation iPod battery charging. Firewire only allows for internal battery charging.

4th Generation iPod

The Fourth Generation iPod is also known as the Click Wheel iPod. The 4th Gen iPod was introduced in late 2004 with a monochrome LCD and integrated buttons to form the now well recognized iPod click wheel. The hold switch is located on the top right side. A later revision introduced in mid 2005 introduces a color display and the capability to display pictures. This newer revision is known as the Photo iPod. The 4th Generation iPods originated with 20, 30, 40, or 60 Gigabyte hard disk drives. Both, the Photo iPod and the Click Wheel iPod, can be synced to a computer and their batteries charged through the Dock Connector which is located in the bottom middle of these models. A Dock Connector-to-Firewire, or a Dock Connector-to USB, cable can be used for these functions.

3rd Generation iPod

The Third Generation iPod is also known as the Dock Connector iPod model. The 3rd Gen iPod has a row of back-lit and touch sensitive circular buttons that are located just under the LCD display and above the touch wheel. It was introduced in April of 2003 with hard disk drives that came in configuration of 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 Gigabytes. This iPod was the first to introduce the use a Dock Connector port for synchronizing to a computer. The Firewire port, which was part of the predecessor model, was eliminated in this model. Yet, with a Dock Connector-to-Firewire cable, this model can still be connected to a computer's Firewire port for syncing and for charging the internal 3rd Generation iPod Battery. A Dock Connector-to-USB cable can also be used but only for syncing and not for internal battery charging.

2nd Generation iPod

The Second Generation iPod is also known as the touch wheel iPod. The 2nd Gen iPod was introduced in the middle of 2002. Featured on a white plastic housing are touch-sensitive buttons that form the touch wheel shape located underneath a monochrome LCD display. This button layout is a predecessor to the characteristic iPod clickwheel. The 2nd Generation iPod originally came with hard disk drives in sizes of 10 Gigabytes or 20 Gigabytes. This model of iPod does not have a Dock Connector but it does have a Firewire port with a cover. The Firewire port is used for syncing to a computer and for charging the internal 2nd Generation iPod Battery.

iPod Mini

The iPod Mini was introduced in early 2004 as the first smaller version of the popular iPod. The iPod Mini is available in 5 colors and originally with a 4 Gigabyte hard disk drive. A later release in early 2005 is known as the iPod Mini 2nd Generation. This release featured more vibrant colors, added a 6 Gigabyte hard disk drive option, modified the color of the click wheel text to match the color of the housing, and the hard disk drive size is engraved in the back. Either release, or generation, has a monochrome LCD and rounded vertical edges. The hold switch is located in the top left corner and the Dock Connector in the middle bottom. Both Firewire and USB can be used to sync to a computer, or to charge the internal iPod Mini Battery.

iPod Nano

The iPod Nano was introduced as a replacement for the iPod Mini in late 2005. This smaller and thinner version of the 5th Generation iPod is designed with flash memory in configurations of 1, 2, and 4 Gigabytes as well as a color LCD. In late 2006, the second generation of the iPod Nano was released. This model generation features an aluminum case with rounded vertical edges which come in 1 of 6 available colors. A brighter screen, a longer lasting battery, and an option for 8 Gigabytes of flash memory were also added while the 1 Gigabyte configuration was removed.
