The Digital Underground
As you’ve explore your iPod, you’ve probably noticed some other features on your iPod that aren’t related to playing music or video.
The iPod Classic, iPod Nano and iPod Touch allow you to pare down your digital life through some of the non-music functions available to you through your iPod. Explore the possibilities of the data storage feature by backing up some of your important files to your iPod’s hard drive. Consider putting onto your iPod your calendar, contacts and all those things you sync from Outlook to your PDA. Depending on how much storage you have, you can seize the practicality of being able to store all your digital photos on your iPod; should something happen to your computer, your digital memories would be safe. On a more practical tack, take a photo inventory of your home and back it up to your iPod.
If the idea of individually adding your contacts and appointments to your iPod makes your brain catch fire, don’t fret.

There’s boundless potential for using your iPod as a tool for daily success!
