The First iPod Ad

By

One of our readers just sent in this amusing clip of Apple’s very first iPod advertisement. Watch after the jump. Here’s a brief history of the iPod (courtesy of Wiki):

Apple’s Hardware engineering chief Jon Rubinstein assembled a team of engineers to design and build the first iPod in less than a year, with Tony Fadell and Michael Dhuey as the principal hardware engineers. It was unveiled by CEO Steve Jobs on October 23, 2001 as a Mac-compatible product with a 5 GB hard drive that put “1,000 songs in your pocket.”

Winamp MP3 Player Concept

By

A designer modeled this MP3 player concept after Winamp’s software interface. Unfortunately, no word yet on if this concept will go into production.

Some of you wee whippersnappers may not remember Winamp, but yes, this was our first MP3 player, pre-iTunes, even before portable players came on the scene

Toshiba GigaBeat S30 Reviewed

By

Powered by Windows Portable Media Center, the S30 boasts a 240 x 320 2.4-inch QVGA display, an FM tuner, AV output, and compatibility with Vongo‘s new digital video subscription/download service. It supports WMV, DivX, MPEG-2, MP3, WMA/WMA Lossless, and JPEG formats. Here’s what DAPReview has to say:

While the S Series has a fantastic GUI, great controls, and is terrificly stylish, it has miserably battery life and simply lacks any sort of recording features along with minimal codec support. This all makes it really hard to give it a score. Yes, the S series is indeed lackluster for many DAP-enthusiasts, especially on this site, but I cannot ignore how terrific the S series is for its target audience: iPod users
