The original iPod, 2001.
The iPod was launched on November 10, 2001, at $399. Thanks to its 5 GB hard drive, it could hold "1000 songs in your pocket." Two years later, the iTunes store opened, selling 275,000 songs the first day.
You can hear the satisfying click of the scroll wheel if you stare hard enough at the photo.
