A decade of iPod

Ten years ago, Apple released the first iPod to an unsuspecting public. It only took a decade for the iPod to become the world’s number one media player and this week, the iPod celebrates ten years on top.

Despite mixed reactions for Apple products, it is hard to deny the cold hard facts. Over 300-million iPods have been sold worldwide, with rivals such as the Zune, Sony Walkman and the multiple SanDisk players unable to knock the champion off the charts. Proof of its success shows in its design. To this day, the current 160GB iPod remains largely unchanged from its 2008 iteration.
