*Apple iPod: 10 Years of the Ubiquitous Media Player*

 

http://www.techspot.com/guides/456-apple-ipod-turns-10/

 

A decade ago, Apple launched an MP3 player that can be partly attributed

with shaping the landscape of today's mobile computing market. Along with

being the best-selling portable media player and saving Apple from near

irrelevance, the iPod influenced many of Cupertino's ambitious and

revolutionary projects, forcing much of the industry into a perpetual state

of catch-up.

 

In fact, the iPod and related products prompted Apple to change its name

from "Apple Computer, Inc." to just "Apple Inc.” Without fawning over

Apple's every endeavor, we'd like to pay homage to the company's

game-changing gadget on its 10th birthday. Join us as we take a brief stroll

down memory lane.

 

Thank you.
