A Look Back at the 1st iPod
September 1st, 2006 by methodshop in Audio/Video Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, iPod gadgets
Are you one of the digital music trailblazers who owns a 1G iPod? It’s hard to believe, but Apple first unveiled the iPod back in October 2001. Today, the iPod amounts to almost 50% of Apple’s quarterly income - but back then few could have predicted that the iPod would become such a major game changer for Apple.
Here’s a clip from TechTV with their first impressions on the 1G iPod. It’s interesting to see what people thought of the iPod before it became such a huge success.

Thanks for the link to the video. It was a great watch.

September 1st, 2006 at 2:48 pmI have one of the originals iPods, but it has a 5 GB HD. I never saw one with a 1 GB HD. Only the shuffle is a 1 GB.

September 1st, 2006 at 7:08 pmI’ve still got a 1G iPod, and it’s still alive and kicking just as good as the first day I bought it. I did have to replace the battery a while back, but that was cheap and easy. Of course, in our little three-person family we’ve also got two nanos, a shuffle and a 40GB iPod Photo.
BTW, 1G refers to “first generation”, not 1 gig.

September 1st, 2006 at 7:35 pmjust to clarify..1G=1st Generation…not 1GB.
I had one of the 1G’s as well…man, can’t believe it was already that long ago that they came out!

September 2nd, 2006 at 7:12 amI too find that term 1G more indicative of a one gig iPod. Never seen anyone use that for 1st gen. Maybe a better term would’ve been Rev. A iPod.
