Introduction – iPod1,1 : 1st Gen iPod
The iPod1,1 was Apple’s entry into the world of portable digital music players when it debuted in October 2001. In an era when taking your music collection on the go required a brick of a CD player or those 128-MB capacity MP3 devices, that sleek little device offered up to five gigs of storage and could hold 1,000 songs at ripoffptional quality.
The design wasn’t much to look at; it was just a white slab, but that small monochrome screen(black text on white background) with mechanical scroll wheel made navigating through your music bliss. All of this with a revolutionary scroll wheel interface that allowed users to zip through their music library in no time at all. Fast FireWire-to-USB 2.0 connection to Macs, Apple’s iTunes Music Store services and software was developed as a fast, but also began its dominance via the iPod platform.
It may lacked color displays, video playback or wireless connectivity found in later models, but the first generation iPod made Apple a key player in the music player market. The slogan of the day “1,000 songs in your pocket” could not have painted a more compelling picture and laid the groundwork for how we listen to music.
The iPod1,1: A breakthrough device that paved the way for portable music and digital media we know today.
