iPod Family

Six years ago Apple Computer released their first iPod and began the digital media player revolution. Since its release the iPod has become a cultural phenomenon and has morphed into the an entire line of digital media players including the iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano, iPod Classic and iPod Touch. Today the iPod commands a huge market lead with over 85% of the market cornered. In the last quarter Apple shipped over 10 million iPods.

When the iPod was introduced it could only hold 1,000 songs in a device that would easily fit into your pocket. The first player worked only with Mac’s and held the songs on a “super-thin” 5 GB hard drive. Today the iPod easily connects with both Macs and PCs and the 160 GB hard drive based “Classic” iPod can hold up to 40,000 songs. It sells for only $349. Or, $50 less than the original iPod.

Happy 6th Birthday, iPod.
