iPod Touch Volume Adjustments
Well, there are at least two (and often three) ways to adjust the volume on the iPod Touch:
- The ear bud set has an inline microphone on the cord of one bud. Shaped like a rectangle, this surprisingly good-sounding mc has a button at each end that can be pressed; the one closest to the bud raises the volume, and pressing the other one lowers it.
- The iPod Touch has two buttons on the left side edge of the unit, near the top, which is the opposite end from the docking and ear bud connectors. Pressing the one closest to the top raises the volume, and pressing the button closer to the connectors lowers it.
- Finally, if you’re running apps that support this, such as the SHOUTcast, Pandora, and AOL Radio apps among others, a screen-based volume control appears when displaying the Now Playing screen. Simply slide your finger across the screen over top of this control to move it.
I guess that Apple figured out that if you want to make something very easy to work, then offer more than one way to change settings on it. Hmmm. I wonder if they did this to make the Touch easier to operate?
