The original iPod didn't have the most storage capacity or the most features, but it did have a dead-simple user interface, terrific industrial design, and the polish that define Apple products (it also has an interesting story about how it got its name).

Looking back to when the iPod was introduced, it's hard to remember just how different the world of computing and portable devices was. There was no Facebook, no Twitter, no apps, no iPhone, no Netflix. The world was a very different place.

While it’s called the iPhone, it’s that last part — the internet device — that has had the biggest effect on the world.
