The Apple iPod has an extremely interesting history. The concept was to developa small hard drive-based player, which was meant to differ from the bulkier flash based media players of the time.
The original iPod was based on a 5GB Toshiba hard drive platform. 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 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. The innovative scroll wheel made it easier to navigate through the various menus and songs on the unit.
Notably, a very 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.
