The Apple iPod has an extremely facinating history. The idea was to design a small hard drive-based player, which should have differed from the bulkier flash based media players of the era.
Origianally 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 high-resolution 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. This innovation made it easier to navigate through the songs and menus.
A serious disadvantage of the original Apple iPod was lack of Windows compatibility. The issue was addressed and by 2002 a Windows compatible version of the iPod was released. In addition it came with 20 GB 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.
