Apple first released its iPod lineup. The portable media player and multi-purposed mini computer was released in less than a year after the Mac version of iTunes. Because it was released for Mac at first, its sales was slow.
Users can use Apple's iTunes or other software to transfer music to the device. Acting also as a storage for files, the iPod has different storage capacity is available and varies by model.
Before Apple released the iOS 5, the iPod's brand was used for media players included in both the iPhone and the iPad. As of iOS 5, Apple separated Music from Video, and standardized them across all iOS devices.
Apple with its iPod took the world by surprise, and it didn't take the company that long until the iPod was noted as "the Walkman of the twenty-first century".
