Happy 7th Birthday Apple iPod!

GeekSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 06:00:52 -0700

Can you believe it? Seven years ago today, Apple introduced the first generation (5G) iPod. With a hard disk drive, mechanical scroll wheel and a FireWire port, the device was unlike any other mp3 player on the market at that time. Over the years we've watched the revolutionary iPod evolve into many shapes and forms. From the iPod classic, shuffle and the Nano to the iPod touch and now the Nano-Chromatic iPods, it's no wonder why the iPod was voted the greatest gadget of all time! In honor of the iPod's anniversary, it'd be great if you could leave a comment telling us what you love about this wonderful piece of technology.

The iPods are discounted up to 15 percent off their regular price, so you can get cute Pre-Owned Colorware 30GB Video iPod - Red (5th Generation) for $237.49 instead of $249, or a 2GB iPod Nano - Black (1st Generation) for $109.

Of course, you can always get "Apple Certified Refurbished Products" from the Apple store for less than the new models. Thinking of trying this? read more

Doesn't this click wheel nano t-shirt by PodWare remind you of those cutsey wootsey baby iPod jumpers? The only difference is these T's have a special pocket to fit your 1st or 2nd generation iPod nano (also available for shuffles). Featured on Gadgetress, these $26 T-shirts come in a variety of designs and sizes for both men and women. I often worry about things falling out of my pockets in general, so I can't imagine carrying my iPod in my T-shirt. What are your thoughts?

Ted Baker Goes Blue For iPod Nano Case

This is what I like to see. A blue distressed leather iPod nano case with a white interior and a Ted Baker plaque for that added touch of designer finesse. And the best part? All of this for only $30 from the online Apple store.

With this case you get easy access to your click wheel and controls and your screen stays protected with a thin, clear screen protector. You can also keep your nano in this case during syncing and charging so you don't have to take it out of the case. Fabulous!

Don't try squeezing your 30GB iPod into this sleek case as it only fits 1st and 2nd generation iPod nano's.
