The idea of the iPod has an extremely remarkable history. The idea was to design a small hard drive-based player, which should have differed from the much larger flash based digital media players of the day.
The iPod was based on the idea of using hard drives (5GB Toshiba). The drives were approximately the size of a quarter. The operating system it used was known as Pixo. The unit also included a hi-res display and a lithium polymer battery.
The first iPods had many innovative features- most notably the scroll wheel. The wheel was used to scroll through the list of songs and to control the menus. The scroll wheel made it easier to navigate through the play list.
The most serious inconvenience of the original iPod was lack of Windows compatibility. It was taken into consideration and by 2002 a new iPod version was released which was Windows PC compatible. The new unit also included an upgraded 20GB of storage space. The scroll wheel was replaced by a touchpad-like wheel, surrounded by a ring of buttons. In 2003 all mechanical buttons were removed from the iPod. Storage space at the time ranged from 10GB to 40GB.The newer generation of iPods also included a lithium-ion power source.
