Steve Jobs dying and the 10 year anniversary of the ipod got me thinking. We might not have flying cars or self pumping Nike high tops but fuck if we haven't come a long way in terms of portable electronics.
There was a link to a thread that was made when the ipod was first revealed. It was interesting to read peoples initial impressions considering that Apple was still struggling at that time.
Since then MP3 PLAYERS have gone from being 5GB portable music players into full featured super devices. I'm posting this from my phone. That would have seemed impossible in 2000. We have computers in our pockets capable of emulating all of our favorite consoles as kids. I remember a time when the height of technology would have been to play Doom on a handheld gaming system. When the only innovation happening with cell tech was smaller and smaller phones.
All things considered the IAudio X5 is still the best strictly music player ever released.
