One of the most fun parts of purchasing an iPhone or iPod is the many different capabilities each device has. Heck, the iPod Touch is basically a pocket sized computer with many of the same capabilities that regular desktop computers have. Fortunately, developers have capitalized on the standard port that all these devices incorporate, making for powerful, interchangeable, and unique accessories that greatly increase the devices’ capabilities.
While there are many exciting accessories available for each device, it is important to purchase the basics first. The ear buds that come with most of the devices are adequate at best, but a lot of current research has found that they also destroy a person’s hearing. Usually, it is best to get a pair of regular headphones instead, but another good idea is to get passive noise-canceling ear buds. These prevent outside noises from entering the ear canals, and as a result, music can be heard at a much lower level than otherwise. Also, many different external speakers can be purchased and used, but these can have inadequate sound quality if the wrong ones are purchased. The person should always look for speakers that have their own batteries or plug into the walls, so that they can get high enough volume.
A case is also always necessary, since it is the single reason a device is either broken or not broken. Besides protecting everything, the case also allows someone to grip the device more easily to prevent drops in the first place. Most people with butterfingers usually end up never dropping their device after installing a case. The real decision is what case to get and that can range from bulky and strong to sleek and slim. Shades 3GS cases and covers and iPod nano 3G cases are some of the best cases one can get to match the shape and size of devices. These also make a device very easy to grip and clean while protecting it from the shock of falling onto the ground. If one has purchased the iPod Touch, looking at iPod Touch cases and covers is incredibly important, given the device’s vulnerability to breakage. These owners may also want to look for a screen protector, since the screen is basically the life of their phone.
Now the individual can choose from boatloads of accessories and apps for almost any purpose that someone could possibly think of. For starters, there is a device with software that uses the phone’s processor to model different guitar amps, and also comes with a sound interface containing instrument-in and headphone-out ports. Games are also aplenty, with everything from classic arcade games to cutting edge new games. There are also FM transmitters, car mounts, tripods, full sized lens attachments, projectors, and much more.
