The next “big thing” in iPods was the iPod photo (4th generation iPod) that had a color screen display and had storage for photographs as well as music. Following the iPod photo came the Nano, Shuffle and the newest model, the iPod touch. The iPod touch remarkably has 32 GB, which can hold 7,000 songs and 40 hours of video; quite a step up from the original that made its premiere eight years ago. Not only does the iPod Touch hold music and videos, but also video games and provides access to the Internet. Still, it is one step behind the greatest invention yet, the iPhone.
