iPod History

The iPod is a portlable media player invented and sold in the year of 2001 by Apple. Steve Jobs announced it as a Mac-compatible product with a 5 GB hard drive that put "1000 songs in your pocket." Apple did not develop iPod's software entirely in-house. Apple instead used PortalPlayer's reference platform which was based on 2 ARM cores. Apple contracted another company, Pixo, to help design and implement the user interface, under the direct supervision of Steve Jobs. iPods then got color displays from Max OS X like Aqua colored progress bars. In 2007, Apple modified the iPod interface again with the introduction of the sixth-generation iPod classic and third-generation iPod nano by changing the font to Helvetica which made the iPod smaller. The iPod then got smaller and more popular all around the world. Videos, photos, games plus the music is all these people want and they get it in one. Now, just released in 2007, the iPhone was introduced at a cost of $599 but then went down $300 2 months after. This is one of the biggest steps foward in technology. People copmpared it to the second coming of Jesus for the telephone world. This phone has internet, music. calender, movie... anything and it is a great success for the Apple company.
