Performance – iPod1,1: 1st Generation iPod
The iPod1,1 did the basics of what it needed to do at that time — play music with a navigation experience that felt smooth. This was a device that boasted the power of Apple’s own firmware and could still index large music libraries on an incredibly limited amount of hardware. We used its mechanical scroll wheel to move very quickly and accurately through thousands of songs, with little or no detectable lag.
Thanks to its 5 GB hard drive, the iPod was capable of holding around 1000 songs—a lot for the time. It provided clear and persistent sound output, covering all of your usuals; MP3 and AAC formats could work without problems with no considerable distortion or dropouts happening.
More Than Music = Faster: The FireWire sync was faster than all the USB-based MP3 players out at that time which meant a more condensed wait to move my expansive music collection. Balancing battery performance against a desire for good hardware needed 10 hours of playback on a charge.
Although it did not have media playing capabilities that later models would be renowned for, the iPod1,1 set a new bar for music playback, navigation and battery longevity on a portable digital music player. The user experience was smooth and intuitive, which helped Apple establish its name as a brand in the digital music industry.
