iPod Happy 5th Anniversary iPod

[MattyMac]

Today's the day that five years ago...our good friend iPod was released. It would be nice to see a sick anniversary edition soon...but very unlikely

...well tomorrow is tuesday.

EDIT: Here is my baby in Mint condition!

MacRumors even gets a mention. WeezerX80 has been unsurprisingly quiet

Unfortunetly, the comments left for article are not very posetive (i don't mean the ones from 5 years ago).
Its a shame that most people are still, today, stupid enough to believe that iPods still cost doble what Creative players do, force you to buy all your music from iTunes, have 4 hour battery lives, are fragile, lock you into iTunes for the rest of your life, have poor sound quality and do not work with any headphones, except the included ones. *sigh*
Some people are so ****ing stupid!

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY IPOD!!!
My dad had the original iPod, and it still works great! Apart from having 30 minute battery life, but he just ordered a replacement battery, that is supposed to last 20 hours, so it will last a few more years!

Well then, I hope that you bought it a nice iPod accessory as a gift from Apple Store for it's 5th birthday.

Happy Birthday iPod!!! You made me switch

Me too!

I'm sure he made lots of ppl switch!

Happy Birthday iPod!!! You made me switch

I had an iPod Mini before I switched, but technically the iPod was not the driving factor behind my conversion because I had prior plans of switching. But its ease of use, beautiful design, and high quality certainly are plausible reasons to help one decide to switch over to using Macs.

Heres to another 5 years iPod!

Heres to another 5 years iPod!

I can't wait to see what the iPod will look like in 5 years from now

Five years.... man, time flies.

I still get a chuckle when I read the forum posts made 5 years ago on macrumors.com during the introduction: https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=500

Cheers, Rich

p.s. I did a special photo for my "iPod 5th Birthday" blog post: http://www.leggnet.com/2006/10/happy-birthday-ipod.html

That is hilarious. Mean that is a bad riot against the ipod!

The apple store is down now too! Maybe it will have something to do with the 5 year Anniversary....Oh Man that would be AMAZING!

Edit: Nope
