What is the difference between an iPad and an iPod?

Since Apple recently began to produce a large number of its products, for example, the iPad, iPod and iPhone, many people have confusion in their heads. If iPhone, it is clear that the phone, then the iPod and the iPad, which differ only one letter, can be confused.

Famous for the whole world, Apple, in addition to gadgets, produces computers and laptops, but they, unfortunately, take it with you or put in your pocket will not work because of the bulky dimensions. That's why they combined a computer and a phone in one small device and created an iPad with which you can work, read books, communicate, take pictures, listen to music, watch videos and much more.

With the iPod you can only listen and store music, watch videos and pictures. There is no camera on it. He is also called a media player in the common people.

Also, both devices differ in their size: the iPad is much larger and thinner than the iPod. Although now the player and make thin. The amount of memory also has a big difference: the tablet has a memory of 16 to 256 GB, and the player is only 2-4 GB and you can also insert a memory card.

IPod can be without a screen (only one button), with a screen and buttons and with a touch screen. The price, of course, is also different. The iPad also consists entirely of a screen and one button "Home" (Home), and the price is also different. The newer and more powerful, the higher the cost.

To date, "Apple" company produces a fairly large number of its products with different price categories, that every second has a product of a famous brand.
