iPod is one of the most popular music players. It is compact and, as many believe, damn easy to manage. But the main thing is something else — its frenzied popularity has led to the fact that enthusiasts have created a bunch of programs, services and sites that may be useful for iPod owners. The Open Culture blog explains how to use this Apple product in education.
- The most obvious is reading the encyclopedia «Wikipedia ». To do this, you will need the free program Encyclopodia
- Watching a DVD. For Windows, Mac OS X and Linux there is a free program with which you can watch DVD on iPod
- Watching YouTube lessons. The ConvertTube service allows you to convert videos posted on YouTube into a format that the iPod understands. So now you can have speeches of Nobel laureates and courses of the University of Berkeley in your player.
- Reading e-books. There is no support for e-book reading in the iPod itself, but this drawback has been eliminated by third-party developers. You can also read books in the player.
- Metro maps. If you are going on a trip abroad (business or tourist visit, study), it would be nice to have a subway map in your iPod, right? Then you are here iSubwayMaps (and here you can find out how to download Google Maps to iPod)
