What iPod Do You Have? With all the new (and old) iPods on the market it is easy to get confused with what iPod you actually own. Well to make life easier for you we, at iWorld, have listed all the iPods that are available to buy! Take a look at the pictures above to identify your iPod and then use the compatibility icons on each listing (and outlined below) to make sure the accessory you buy will work with your iPod.




What do iWorld's iPod compatibility icons mean? Check out iWorld’s iPod compatibility icons at the bottom of every listing to see if your iPod is compatible with your chosen accessory. Below is a guide to our compatibility icons so you can be totally sure the accessory you buy will work with your iPod. There's an icon for every iPod as well as icons for docking iPods and all other iPods. And if you're still in doubt and want to be sure that the accessory will work with your iPod, refer to the text in the listing for more specific compatibility.

	iPhone The iPhone is a mobile phone iPod. Featuring a large touchscreen you can make and take phone calls, send text messages, listen to music, view videos and browse the Internet via Wi-Fi or EDGE. The headphone jack is slightly recessed so you’ll need a headphone adaptor if you want to use different headphones. This icon means that the accessory will work with the 4GB, 8GB or 16GB iPhone.

	iPod Touch A touchscreen, a Wi-Fi web browser and a CoverFlow interface are the main features of the new iPod Touch. The iPod Touch features a large multi-touch screen from which you can control all your music, photos, videos and web browsing.

	New iPod nano (3rd Generation) The new iPod nano 3G is thinner and shorter than the previous iPod nanos and features video playback thanks to a larger, brighter display that delivers great picture quality. When you see this icon the accessory will work with any of the five new colours and both 4GB and 8GB versions.

	iPod shuffle (2nd Generation) The new iPod shuffle also doesn't have a screen. It plugs into the computer via an included USB dock. It has a small thumb control but no wheel. If you see this icon it means that the product works with any colour of the new 1GB iPod shuffle.

	All other iPods If you see the All Other iPods icon on a listing then you can be sure that the product will work with any iPod – newer, recent or older iPod models. These accessories either usually connect with the iPod via the iPod 3.5mm headphone jack or don’t need to connect to the iPod at all! Please note this does not include the iPhone.
