iPod with Jewish Media (Shas/Mishnah/More)

Overview

Music

Video

iPod adds a new dimension to your portable music experience: videos. Choose from over 2,000 music videos at the iTunes Music Store, buy them for $1.99 each, sync them to your iPod and take them anywhere. Or purchase ad-free episodes of your favorite ABC or Disney television shows and watch them on the go. The new iPod lets your browse over 150 hours of video from the Click Wheel, then watch it on the gorgeous 2.5-inch, over 65,000-color display.

Podcast

The iTunes Podcast Directory features thousands of free podcasts — radio-style shows you subscribe to — including favorites from such big names as ABC News, Adam Curry, ESPN, KCRW, WGBH and many more. Browse and subscribe to podcasts, then sync them to your iPod and listen anywhere. Thanks to new video support, even video podcasts sync to go. And all your podcasts appear in their own menus under Music and Videos, so you can navigate them easily.

Audio Books

The digital shelves of the iTunes Music Store are stocked with more than 11,000 audiobooks — including such exclusives as the entire Harry Potter series — so you can download what you want, sync to your iPod and catch up on your reading wherever you roam. Browse audiobooks from their own menu on your iPod. Set a chapter marker when you stop “reading,” and pick up the audiobook right where you left off. You can even change the read speed to suit you.

Photos

iPod holds up to 25,000 photos you can sync from your Mac or Windows PC via iTunes. Use the Click Wheel to scroll through photo thumbnails the same way you scroll through song titles. To see a photo full-screen, click the center button. You can even view photo slideshows — complete with music — on iPod or on a TV via the optional video cable. Select Slideshow Settings, choose the transition effect and the music, then start the show.

Calendar & Contacts

Ever forgotten a doctor’s appointment or wished you had a friend’s home address handy? Good thing the new iPod lets you take all your calendars and contacts with you wherever you go. With support for Address Book and iCal on the Mac and Outlook or Outlook Express on the PC, as well as industry-standard vCalendar and vCard files, iTunes syncs your calendars and contacts to your iPod so you can access everything with a quick spin of the Click Wheel.

World Clock

The new iPod’s nifty World Clock lets you check the time everywhere, fall asleep to music and wake up to it, too. Open more than one World Clock to scroll between as many time zones as you choose. The clock faces even appear white or black to indicate day or night in different time zones. Want to doze to your music? Turn on the Sleep Timer. Just remember to set the built-in Alarm Clock to your favorite wake-up song for a tuneful way to rise and shine.

Extras

Your calendars, contacts and the World Clock appear in the Extras menu, along with a few more handy items. Take the Screen Lock, for example. Spin the Click Wheel to choose a four-digit combination and protect your iPod from prying eyes. Store Notes that sync all your to-do lists. Or use the built-in Stopwatch to log your best times. And when it’s finally time to play, the new iPod features four fun games: Music Quiz, Solitaire, Brick and Parachute.

On-the-Go Options

When inspiration strikes, feel free to rate songs or create playlists right from your iPod. To create an On-the-Go Playlist, select a song, then press and hold the center button until the song flashes. To rate a song as it plays, click the center button until you reach the ratings screen. Scroll the Click Wheel to choose a star rating and press the center button to save. Since iTunes syncs both ways, all your On-the-Go Playlists and song ratings sync back to your computer.

Settings

Customize menus, check capacity, change your language, change how your iPod sounds and more, all from the Settings menu. Click About to see how many songs are on your iPod and how much room you have left. Click Main Menu to select what items appear in your Main Menu. Tweak the built-in equalizer. Or set your maximum volume limit. Everything you need to personalize your iPod — from the backlight timer to clicker sound effects — appears in Settings.
