History of Ipod (Part 1 of 5)
Summary
On 23rd October 2001 Apple launched a brand of portable media players under the name of iPod. Little did the world know (including Apple itself) that the product would transform into a cult phenomenon in a short span of time. The history that is associated with the making and design of the iPod is as fascinating as the product itself. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was ousted out of Apple in 1985 by John Sculley, then CEO of Apple. Under Sculley’s reign Apple was without a vision and a direction and it lacked the competitiveness required to turn the sagging fortunes of the company. Steve Jobs returned to Apple as its CEO in 1995 when it was in dire straits. He brought with him the vision that would later propel Apple from being a computer company to a music powerhouse. Apple launched iMac in 1998 and went on to release iPod in 2001.This 5 part video series takes you through the behind-the-scenes story of the revolution that is iPod.
