Invention of the iPod series - Apple forever changes multimedia


In 2001, the iPod was introduced by Apple. It was to replace all the big, chunky walkmans and CD players that had terrible user interfaces. At first, the reactions were confused and hostile, critics lambasted the $400 price tag, the unconventional scroll wheel and the lack of Windows compatibility. Despite all this, the iPod sold beyond everyone's expectations, went on to revolutionize the entire music industry, and the rest is history.

The iPod is also well designed. It has a nice user interface, unconventional scroll wheel, and a touch screen. It is also light and can come in a smaller size (namely the shuffle), which is good for working out at the gym or going for a run. You can also hook the iPod up to a iPod dock or iPod capable stereo for a much louder experience.
