It’s been almost a decade since Apple first introduced the iPod. Back in 2001, $399 got you a 5GB white iPod with monochrome back, a rotating wheel and a battery that lasted 10 hours in the size of a brick. It was badly received but caught attention soon enough. Its ease of use was second to none.
In 2010, $399 gets you a 64GB multi-touch mobile computing device with a 326ppi screen, dual video camera with high definition support and video calling, wireless internet and data sync, weighing 100 grams, works as an exercise monitor and a video editing console with a 40 hour battery.
That’s quite a jump in technology.
iTunes in the mean time went from a music jukebox to… a music jukebox with an online store that sells music, movies, tv series, audiobooks, and apps, a comprehensive podcast directory along with university lectures, and a music oriented social network.
