PC Mag: It's a fact of life that Apple will, without fail, replace current models of the iPod with newer, flashier versions. And eventually (if not today), Apple will retire the iconic click wheel iPod design concept in favor of models with touch-screen interfaces. The click wheel's fate was already sealed when Apple released the iPod Touch in 2007.
in 2005, Cupertino adopted a "special assignment" to help the US Department of Energy in developing a top-secret iPod which had a special but hidden function.
Released in late 2001, about eight months after the arrival of iTunes, the original Apple iPod music player featured a mini version of the game Breakout.
Miss the days of the iPod? Want to turn your iPhone into one? That's possible with the Rewound music player app.
