The iPod is a hard-drive-based MP3 player from Apple Computer that is distinguished by its small size, simple user interface based on a central scroll wheel, and fast FireWire connection capable of 400-Mbps data transfers.

First announced in October 2001, the iPod was originally available with a 5-GB hard drive. A 10-GB version was announced in March 2002. In July 2002, a 20-GB model was announced, and both the 10- and 20-GB models were updated with a touch-sensitive (rather than moving) scroll wheel, as well as other upgrades. Firmware upgrades have added some PDA functions.

The iPod was originally only compatible with Macintosh computers, but as of the summer of 2002 has also been available in Windows versions, formatted to FAT32 instead of HFS+. Third-party products also exist to allow the use of Mac-formatted iPods with Windows computers.
