The concept of the iPod has an extremely facinating history.  Engineers originally attempted to design a small hard drive-based player, which was meant to differ from the much larger flash based digital audio players of the generation.

Originally the iPod was based on the concept of using 5 GB Toshiba hard drives. The drives were approximately the size of a quarter. Pixo was the operating system utilized by the units.  The unit also included a high resolution display and a lithium polymer power unit.

The scroll wheel on the front of the first iPod was its most innovative feature. The wheel was used to scroll through the list of songs and to control the menus. The innovative scroll wheel made it easier to navigate through the various menus and songs on the unit.

The most serious disadvantage 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.  In addition it came with 20 GB of storage space. The scroll wheel was replaced by a touchpad wheel, surrounded by a ring of buttons. In 2003 all mechanical buttons were removed from the Apple iPod.  The storage spaced ranged from 10 GB up to 40 GB. The newer generation of iPods also included a lithium-ion power source.
