iPod
Models
Originally developed as a portable music player by Apple Inc. for
its Macintosh platform, it was first released in 2001.
CEO Steve Jobs commissioned Jon Rubinstein to create a personal
media player in keeping with the minimalist style of Apple.
The first iPod was Mac-compatible only, but once it attained cross-platform
compatibility, it became one of the most successful
and revolutionary products of the era.
