Blast from the past: 1st generation iPod review

August 10, 2008

Filed under: ,


Ah, the simpler days: before the iPhone, before the iTunes store, and before Apple killed FireWire in favor of syncing via USB. Yes, we’re speaking about the birth of the iPod. This video is one of the very first reviews on TechTV (wow, anyone remember that television network?).

The original iPod came in 5 GB and 10 GB models, and sold for $399 and $499 respectively. The battery life was 10 hours, and first generation iPods were Mac-only, running on Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X 10.1 (Puma). Over the past few years, the iPod has definitely changed, and this video is living proof.
