I Got This New iPod – Now What?!

ByMike Moffit

With the world of technology changing about as frequently as my hair color (which is a lot!) it’s tough to keep up with the times. Whether you have an iPod shuffle that works without a screen, or the iPod touch that is a whole lotta screen, there is a lot to learn!

At Small Dog, we recently received shipments with the newest iPod “How To” guides, which have been in high demand. The two books that I think offer the most help, and are written in clear, every day language – as opposed to that intense Techy-Talk – are The iPod & iTunes Pocket Guide and The iPod Book: Doing Cool Stuff With The iPod and the iTunes Store.

Both books offer the right amount of information to get you and your iPod to be best friends! The iPod & iTunes Pocket Guide includes more tips and tricks and offers some more involved answers, while The iPod Book: Doing Cool Stuff With The iPod and the iTunes Store offers more pictures and focuses more on iTunes preferences.

I whole heartedly recommend either (or both) or these books to get you going with your new iPod, whether it be an iPod shuffle, iPod nano, iPod classic or iPod touch!

  • Need to Charge Multiple iPhones or iPods?

    This day in age a vast majority of us have iPods–and now many of you have iPhones. As much as we love our gadgets, it can sometimes be a pain to charge one at a time, so which one do you pick?

    Leave it to Griffin Technology to solve that issue–one that I am surprised was not figured out sooner! The “PowerDock 2 Charging Cradle for iPod and iPhone”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/73013 will let you charge two iPhones, two iPods or an iPod and an iPhone at once! It can sit on your desk, beside, by the front door, wherever you will remember to charge it. This gadget won’t hook up to your Mac–it has no ports other than the AC on the back–but I like the fact that you don’t have to have everything plugged into your Mac at all times.

    I also like the “Griffin PowerDock 2”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/73013 because the thought of having my iPod or iPhone in the dock is more calming to me than just leaving my Apple gadget on the desk (in case it fell off–iPhone screen replacements are expensive!). A $39.99 price point seems fair to charge your devices to me! Most single iPod/iPhone chargers are about $19.99-$29.99 and this way you don’t have to worry about buying a sync cable as well. It’s also made out of brushed aluminum, which matches the MacBook Pros and iMacs very nicely (which is obviously super important!).
