Next year, Apple’s iPod will celebrate its tenth anniversary.
Say what you want about Steve Jobs, the guy knows how to create an icon. Before iPod, we were all supposedly happy with our Sony Walkman’s (or Discman’s, if you were posh).
Who would have thought that a computer manufacturer would turn all that on its head and change the way we buy and listen to music forever?
In an early celebration of the iPod’s tenth anniversary, here’s a look back at the evolution of this pop culture icon, as well as some of the big stories of the time (make sure to switch to 480p mode to view it).
Hope you enjoy, and what’s been your favourite iPod so far?
