I skipped class in college to watch the iPod introduction. I first thought all Apple did was make me want an MP3 player for the first time: I asked for and got some Rio player for Christmas because it was cheaper than the iPod and really, what could the difference really be? The Rio was terrible in so many ways and the next year I got a real iPod and haven't made the same mistake again. Turned out that I didn't want an MP3 player, I wanted an iPod. Later, I didn't want a Smartphone, I wanted an iPhone. I still have an iPod Classic to hold my whole music library and most of my audiobook collection. There's still something to be said for being able to hear any song I own at any time[1], which still requires a hard drive for me. [1]I suppose if I signed up for iTunes Match I could do this with my iPhone today without a hard drive.
