On October 23, 2001, Apple introduced the iPod, a portable MP3 player designed to store, according to the company, up to 1,000 CD-quality songs. When connected to a Mac, the device automatically downloaded music and playlists from iTunes and updated them the next time it was connected.
The iPod had a 5 GB hard drive, and a scroll wheel was used to navigate songs, artists, and playlists. Apple said sales of the player would begin on November 10 at a suggested price of $399.
