When you’re discussing iPods, the size could very well matter. Your iPod could be getting smaller. Again. According to Bill Watkins, the former chief executive for Seagate, a well known computer components manufacturer, his new company, Vertical Circuits, has figured out how to cram 10 pounds of music in a two pound music player. The company has developed a type of flash memory that is capable of holding high-speed memory information that is considerably smaller than what computer and iPod manufacturers are using in their products now without compromising sound integrity or quality and leaving a lot of room for bigger, more powerful batteries and LCD displays.

According to Watkins, companies like Dell and Apple will make quite a bit of money for technology that makes their products thinner and thinner. The difference of a single millimeter is a big deal for these companies. His new venture specializes in what the industry is referring to as 3-D stacking technology. It’s a semiconductor method of standing chips one on top of the other and forming electrical connections between them. This means they can communicate with one another faster and reduce the need to stretch wires from one component to another in the device. It also utilizes the vertical space of the product better. They have developed ways of connecting these small memory chips to other specialized chips such as graphics chips and computational chips.

However, Vertical Circuits are primarily now focusing on connecting the flash memory chips used in devices such as iPods in a more efficient manner. Most of the methods used right now to connect these flash memory chips require the use of bulky packaging in order to get the electric to flow between the chips, and in a world where hand held devices are progressively getting smaller, inner bulk is not the way manufacturers want to go. Vertical Circuits has developed a solution to this problem that keeps the chips from bulking while maintaining the connection.

The solution is a silver ooze – for a lack of better description – that bonds the chips together and reduces the need for wires or other ways to connect the chips and form an electrical connection. Higher capacity chips can be used because this ooze helps save space in the devices. While 1.6 millimeters may not seem to be a very big distance, it’s like a mile when you are talking about the space available between the covers of an iPod. And it’s the difference between using a larger battery for longer playing time or adding a bigger screen onto the device.

Devices using this silver ooze concoction are scheduled to start appearing on the market some time towards the end of 2009. However, there is concern that as these handheld devices grow smaller more things can go wrong with them. They will be more prone to damage from dropping that will knock the chips out of alignment and could cause memory issues. Smaller units with bigger batteries could also be prone to overheating. The smaller these devices get, the more work repairs shops may be seeing in the future.

Your iPod has been your constant companion for years already. But at present, your iPod seemed to have fallen ill and would not work just right. You think it may be something with the iPod docks and cables but you are no expert when it comes to things like this.

Is it now time to purchase a new iPod?

Well, not quite. You see, when there is something ailing, there is a caregiver or a doctor. And for the iPod, there are already doctors that do their stuff to bring back the vigor that these portable media players have got. And Demetrios Leontaris is one of these iPod miracle workers and he has already got quite a number of patients which he had successfully restored back to health. Although there are some which simply would not respond and could not be resuscitated.

Interestingly, Leontaris still has got a photograph of one of those quite unsuccessful iPod operations. The patient was an iPod Nano and it was quite damaged because it fell from the car. According to the iPod doctor, the iPod Nano still was playing its media files however the casing was badly damaged that if attempted to repair it, the device would have broken and it would not play – at all.

Leontaris is not the only iPod doctor in town. There are already quite a few number of these new professionals popping up on the streets but also online. You can use your favorite search engine and find a good iPod doctor. Chances are, you would be having quite a number of choices on whom to call for help.

You see, these iPod doctors came into being as part of the cottage industry which actually works on keeping the iPod gadgets including iPod Mini Accessories healthy and full of spunk after getting sick. But these doctors are saying that such gadgets do take a turn for the worse mostly by mistreatment and not usually because of accidents.

iPodmods.com is one website where you can find information on the iPod doctor Aaron Vronko. And upon speaking with Vronko, he was amused to recall the kinds of fate of iPods that he had seen and had encountered. He says there were some iPods which have been whirling around with the dirty clothes in soapy water in the washing machine. There were also those iPods which have gone through really hard slams when a car door was closed. Another got melted down when it was left much too close to a light bulb that has been on for hours. Vronko also did mention that one of the best that he had seen were those iPods which have become chew toys for those adorable doggies.

According to these iPod doctors, they could stay in business as long as the current trend continues. You see, Apple, the creator of these phenomenal iPods, has got the gadgets under warranty for only a year. However, as part of the clauses of the warranty, they would give the gadget free services, repairs, or replacements if the iPods got damaged if it is quite clear that the cause was not by mistreatment of the player. If the screen is cracked or if it looks like the iPod was dropped, then say goodbye to your warranty. Now if you have kept your iPod safe and secure for a year, which is the period that Apple gives to its iPods, you can extend that coverage for another year but you would have to shell out some cash to do so.

As for the iPod doctors, there is not much that they cannot handle when it comes to healing the ailing iPods. In fact, Leontaris just needs his SUV which he has turned into a workshop on wheels. He drives to his customers? location and they get a chance to take a look at the iPod doctor?s hand doing wonders on their favorite gadgets.

Apple sells millions of ipods every year. And they have graced it well with the iTunes store. iTunes store sells both audio and video content. However, a parallel market for ipods is nourishing very well and that is not controlled by Apple.

Apple launched new versions of ipods very often and thus people sell off their older pieces to get the new ones. And this thing has given birth to a parallel second hand ipod market in the States.

Every time a new version of ipod is launched, the quantity of second hand iPods for sale in the market is raised automatically. Market analysts predict that there would be some 10 million ipods sold out in this quarter.

The lifespan of a used ipod is around 1.5 years and most of the used iPods are either sold or exchanged for new ipods in the market. And some give them to their relatives and friends. Also there is huge demand for discontinued models and shades as now they are a collector?s item and later in the future, these oldies might fetch good money as the iPod has become a vintage gizmo.

Buying used cheap ipods is good for those who want to save money. Although the pieces are not brand new, but you may get used ipods in good working condition. There is no warranty with the second-hand ipods, but if you buy them from Apple as refurbished, then you do get a one year warranty.

And when it comes to refurbished iPods, the life-span of the ipod totally depends on the luck.

I have my personal experience to share with you. To save money, I decided to buy a refurbished cheap ipod.. But to my surprise, that ipod lasted for only 3 months, the screen stopped working. As the seller did mention that the piece was without any warranty, so I do not blame him. Now to get that screen fixed, it would cost $50.

Then I decided to try one more time and went ahead to buy another refurbished piece of iPod from another site. But again after a period of just 2 months, the battery died.

Now I have two unusable ipods lying in my cupboard.

However my friend was lucky as he also bought a refurbished ipod online and he is happy with it as it works well even after one year. So, I would call it a matter of chance only.
