I have never fallen for the Apple iPod. I like to be different and in any case, my iRiver H320 has held all the features 2 years ago that the latest iPod has now. But here is a fascinating look back at the day Steve Jobs launched the very first Apple iPod back in 2001. This is a 9 minute video (from YouTube) of the inspiring launch presentation.

Despite my loyalty to iRiver, this presentation is world class in persuasive marketing techniques. Back in 2001 I would be itching to get my hands on the stylish device, just as big as a pack of cards that could hold 1000 songs. If only I was sitting there in the audience, I could now be quite a rich guy. Just watch out for the next big thing’s launch presentation, whatever it may be.
