User Interface
The iPod Nano and Classic come with the famous signature click wheel, which makes navigating through music and video not only fun, but super easy. iPods with color displays use a graphic user interface and sliding animations. All iPod models, with the exception of the Shuffle and Touch have 5 buttons and the latest generations have the buttons as part of the click wheel, which provides for a very user-friendly and minimalist user interface. These buttons allow for easy access to functions such as, menu, play, pause, next and previous track. A rotating function is used to scroll through menu items and for volume control by rotating the click wheel.The most basic model of iPod, the Shuffle does not offer the above navigation extras, but instead has a small control on the earphone cable, with volume-up and -down buttons and a single button for play/pause, next track, etc. The Touch has a touch screen instead of the click wheel, and its interface is just like that of the iPhone and it also has the iPhone operating system.
