No. It's more elastic in the long run than the short run.
A product is likely to be more elastic the more dispensable or unnecessary it is to the consumer. For instance, if the price increases and the product is elastic, the consumer will not demand as much because they can do without it.
elastic
perfectly elastic demand the quantity change by infinitely large amount proportion due to the small change in price, is called perfectly elastic demand. perfectly inelastic demand the quantity demand doesn't change at all due to the change in price is called perfectly inelastic demand. relatively elastic demand the quantity demand changes by a little more percentage than the change in price is called relatively elastic demand. relatively inelastic demand the percentage change in quantity demand is less than the percentage change change in its price is called relatively inelastic demand unitary elastic demand the percentage change in quantity demand is equal to the percentage change in price is called unitary elastic demand

No. It's more elastic in the long run than the short run.
the market demand for the product. undefined. more inelastic than the market demand for the product. more elastic than the market demand for the product
The demand is elastic when the price is low. So people will buy more good so that it's demand will become more elastic. Moreover ,the demand is elastic when there are some new inventions.

Yes, it certsinly does. The demand curve will be more elastic if there is a bandwagon effect than if the demand is based only on the functional attributes of the commodity. "BANDWAGON, SNOB, AND VEBLEN EFFECTS IN THE THEORY OF CONSUMERS' DEMAND" (Leibenstein, 1950)
Ipods are elastic. When the price drops people buy more, when it rises people buy less.
Gasoline
These three determinants are listed here: nature of commodity -the more perishable a good,lower will its elasticity of demand,middle income groups have highly elastic demand ,goods having alternative uses have elastic demand,for eg.milk
Because it is basically curved shape, therefore, there are points/areas on the curve where the demand or supply will be elastic and on some other parts be inelastic. At the top of the curve, demand/supply tends to be inelastic and at the bottom of the curve, it tends to be elastic. Obviously, the more you go up the more we reach the perfectly inelastic demand/supply and the further you go down the curve, the more you reach the perfectly elastic demand/supply
