iDevices

iDevices in its widest sense, is an unofficial general term that can refer to any mobile electronic devices marketed by Apple Inc. that start with "i", such as the iPad.

iPhone - a line of smartphones designed and marketed by Apple. It runs Apple's 
iOS mobile operating system and is built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPhone has Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity  and can shoot video, take photos, play music, send and receive email, browse the web, send texts, and receive visual voicemail. Other functions—games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, etc.—can be enabled by downloading apps.

iPod - a portable music and video player, handheld game console, and email-capable personal digital assistant, designed and marketed by Apple. Its design and operating system closely resemble the iPhone but does not have the capacity to make phone calls.The iPod Touch adds the multi-touch graphical user interface to the iPod line. It can connect wirelessly to the internet including the iTunes Store and Apple's App Store, allowing users to directly buy and download content and software.

iPad - a line of tablet computers designed and marketed by Apple, which runs Apple's 
iOS operating system. The user interface is built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPad has built-in Wi-Fi and, on some models, cellular connectivity. An iPad can shoot video, take photos, play music, and perform Internet functions such as web-browsing and emailing. Other functions—games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, etc.—can be enabled by downloading and installing apps.

iPad Mini - a mini tablet computer designed, developed, and marketed by Apple that is, as its name implies, a smaller version of the iPad and includes the same functionality.
