The iPod has become more than an MP3 or video player. It has become a fashion object, something that people don’t want to be seen without. But what happens if the User’s Manual is just too complicated for you, and you want to learn how to use your iPod very quickly? Well, now there’s a solution.[more]
Thus, according to The Scotsman, new tutorials costing £65 for 40 minutes are to be offered at Selfridges' flagship London department store.
The scheme comes in response to queries from customers who are baffled by the best-selling MP3 music players, a spokeswoman said.
The lessons, which include subjects like using iTunes, installing and deleting videos, creating playlists and downloading Podcasts, are given either in-store or on a home visit.
Selfridges set up a so-called SpeedPod service in December last year, in which CDs are loaded on to the music players for a fee.
The service's manager, Kristina Rate, said that the tutorials were set up in response to consumer demand, particularly from children and the over-40s.
"Our guys basically know everything about it by really being interested. There isn't such a thing as an iPod school or an MP3 player course," she said.
The tutorial, however, costs nearly as much as the cheapest iPod - the iPod Shuffle - that retails at about 69 pounds in Britain.
So, in order to save some money, the best thing you can do is either visit Apple’s webpage, where you can find troubleshooting and tutorial pages to help with iPods and iTunes, or ask a tech-savvy friend.
