It seems hard to belive that the iPod turns 5 tomorrow. I still have my first generation iPod, though the HD crashed on it a few years ago. I lost it for a while but came across it just last week. I showed it to my kids and they acted like it was as obsolete as the casette tape commenting, “it is huge!”
How is it that only five years have passed since that white little box came into my life? The 1G iPod had a scroll wheel that actually physically moved, which by the way still feels better than the touch models today. I splurged when I bought mine and got the 10 gig version remarking that I would never be able to fill that up, only to regret that statement a few months later. The iPod has certainly become an icon of today’s culture in a very short period of time. Thus, happy birthday iPod, we are certainly glad to have you in our lives.

Update: I found a great video of Job’s introduction of the iPod. Worth your time to watch. Amazing how the world changes so fast.
