To-do list for IPod: edit·history·watch·refresh· Updated 2022-10-23

  • iPod touch 3d generation is also available in 8Gb No it's not. http://www.apple.com/ipod/compare-ipod-models/
  • The only letter that is capitalized in any of the models is the 'P.' It is 'iPod touch' not 'iPod Touch', the same for iPod nano, iPod mini, iPod shuffle, and iPod classic.
  • In Hardware section: iPod classic (5th gen) harddrives are also supplied by Samsung at 3600rpm. Is specifying the rpm really necessary? It seems inconsistent with the rest of the table.
  • Correct sales volume inconsistency between 2 intro paragraph and info box.
  • Add links to critical articles (at the moment all links are raving about the iPod)
  • Second gen iPod touch photo is of first gen iPod touch.
  • Mistake in iPod line family chart! fourth generation classic photo iPod needs correction from "..4G iPod" to "..40G iPod".. (this was correct, 4G intended to mean 4th generation)
  • Change iPod line family picture to new iPod family picture
  • UPDATE!! New Style iPods out now! - http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/ http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/ http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/
  • Add the fact that there is no custom equalizer on the iPod, only presets, under the "Equalizer" section
  • Try to add references to un-referenced paragraphs
  • Remove iPhone from the list of iPods in the introduction
  • Keep updated (new models, sales info, etc.).
    • Add Toyota to brands of automobile makers offering iPod interface to car stereo (not default in all models, must be purchased separately, but is available)
  • hotlink/cross-reference word "iPhone"
  • Add in the battery life for the various models (in the model matrix). Battery column added 11/01/07.
  • Put article up as a good article candidate (see Good Article Candidate page) Passed as Good Article. no longer Good Article
  • Remove InfoBox at the top of the article
  • Units sold is duplicated in the summary box on the right
  • get picture for iPod shuffle 2g
  • iPod touches cannot serve as external data storage devices.
  • It's 250,000,000 iPods sold since 2001, not 240,000,000 in the intro/info box at the top.
  • Create a non-biased paragraph explaining the presence of other Operating Systems for an iPod
  • iPod Classic 5G was also available in 160GB Done
  • At the beginning of the article, text order a little confusing - change "All iPods (except the 3rd-generation iPod shuffle and iPod Touch) have five buttons..." to "All iPods (except the iPod touch and 3rd-generation iPod shuffle have five buttons)..." - otherwise it sounds like you're saying 3rd-generation iPod shuffle and 3rd-generation iPod touch.
  • Reference 10 is incorrect - it's 'Isaacson, Walter (2011) Steve Jobs. Abacus'

competition

there should be a section contain information of its competition or at least have some mention of it. Geekyperson (talk) 18:51, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

A new infobox image...?

On the image of the infobox, it shows all of the latest iPod models except for the iPod touch... the image shows the iPod touch 1G (black screen frame), instead of the 2nd generation (has a chrome screen frame). Please update this. 69.255.16.132 (talk) 00:30, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I have requested that the author update it. Thank you for bringing that up.--HereToHelp 21:05, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

authentication chip

There should be a mention of the "authentication chips" Apple puts in newer iPods that prevent them from working with unauthorized third party accessories such as video cables, headphones, docks, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.104.75.198 (talk) 17:17, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Interoperability

I didn't see any mention of interoperability in the article. This article claims that Apple has a history of trying to prevent interoperability using: firmware encryption, database hash changes, and code obfuscation.

Doesn't this warrant mentioning? pgr94 (talk) 16:54, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Sales figures

Any chance someone can find some reliable ones, I've had a look around with no luck. We're currently showing 173m In Sept 2008 and 206m 5 months earlier in April 2008, even for WP this is bad! RaseaC (talk) 00:11, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Correction

{{editsemiprotect}} The infobox says the iPod touch music service is the iTunes WiFi Music Store. With the 3.0 update, it is now the iTunes WiFi Store, since it sells TV shows, movies, etc. Would someone please fix? 98.230.214.136 (talk) 22:08, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Done. Thanks! HereToHelp 00:26, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
It still says music in the infobox. It needs to say "iTunes Store". Would someone please fix? 98.230.214.136 (talk) 15:04, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Another infobox correction is that "previous" needs to be changed to "current" in the caption. Would someone please fix? 68.35.20.151 (talk) 01:28, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Done.HereToHelp 02:05, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done
