Engadget: Apple's sixth generation of the iPod nano is essentially the first complete rethinking the product has had since its debut in 2005. The previous form factor -- slim and light with a decently sized display and clickwheel -- has been all but abandoned.
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.
