With the 22nd anniversary of the iPod having occurred on October 23rd, which was your first iPod?

Here’s a picture of mine. I have it, along with several other previous models.

Yea I'm with you. While it may indeed be nostalgia talking, I think it really did hit a spot about as well as any product can. People resonated with the design and UI, and you could put all the music you needed on just one pocket sized device. Maybe the first nicely functioning laptops were similar, and maybe the first home TVs and Vinyl players too, I don't know. But it more or less solved portable music playing, where even now we haven't really moved away from it with streaming etc as far as the essential product idea goes.
