The idea of the iPod has an extremely facinating history. Originally they wanted to developa small hard drive-based player, which was meant to differ from the larger flash based media players of the time.
The original Apple iPod was based on the concept of using 5 GB Toshiba hard drives. The drives were approximately the size of a quarter. It used an operating system called Pixo. The unit also included a hi-res display and a lithium polymer battery.
The most recognizable feature of the first iPod was the scroll wheel on the front of the device replacing skip buttons. 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 very notable serious weakness of the original iPod was lack of Windows compatibility. The issue was addressed and by 2002 a Windows compatible version of the iPod was released. The new unit also included an upgraded 20GB 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. The storage spaced ranged from 10 GB up to 40 GB. The 3rd generation iPods were powered by lithium-ion batteries.
