The iPod has an extremely facinating history.  Originally they wanted to developa small hard drive-based player, which was meant to differ from the notably bulkier flash based MP3 players of the day.

The Apple iPod was originally 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 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. This innovation made it easier to navigate through the various menus and songs on the unit.

A serious drawback 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 scrolling touchpad wheel similar to those on notebook computers, surrounded by a ring of buttons. In 2003 all mechanical buttons were removed from the iPod.  Storage ranged from 10 to 40GB.The newer generation of iPods also included a lithium-ion power source.
