Amaya Toman I kēia lā he ʻumikūmāwalu mau makahiki mai ka manawa i hōʻike aku ai ka Luna Nui o Apple Steve Jobs i ka honua me ka iPod mua loa. I kēlā manawa, ua hoʻolako ʻia ka mea liʻiliʻi a paʻa me kahi pā paʻa 5GB a ua hoʻohiki e hoʻokomo i nā tausani o nā mele i loko o ka ʻeke o ka mea hoʻohana. Ke noʻonoʻo nei i ka manawa hiki iā mākou ke moeʻuhane wale i nā lawelawe streaming a me nā iPhones, he mea kānalua loa ia.
E like me ka iPhone ʻaʻole ʻo ia ke kelepona mua loa o ka honua, ʻaʻole ʻo ka iPod ka mea ʻai mua i ka mākeke mea hoʻokani pila. No kāna iPod, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Apple e hoʻohana i kahi mea hou i kēlā manawa - kahi pākiki paʻa 1,8-inihi mai ka hale hana a Toshiba. Ua paipai ʻo Jon Rubinstein iā Steve Jobs a ua hōʻoiaʻiʻo iā ia he kūpono kēia ʻenehana no ka mea hoʻokani pila.
Ma ke ʻano he Luna Nui o Apple, ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Steve Jobs i ka hapa nui o ka hōʻaiʻē no ka iPod, akā ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo he hoʻoikaika hui. Ma waho aʻe o ka Rubinstein i haʻi mua ʻia, no ka laʻana ʻo Phil Schiller, nāna i hōʻea i ka manaʻo no ka huila hoʻokele, a ʻo Tony Fadell paha, nāna i mālama i ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka lako, ua kōkua i ka hana ʻana o ka mea pāʻani. ʻO ka inoa "iPod" ma hope mai ke poʻo o ka mea kākau kope ʻo Vinnie Chiec, a ua manaʻo ʻia he kuhikuhi i ka laina "Wehe i nā puka Pod Bay, Hal" (ma Czech, i ʻōlelo pinepine ʻia ʻo "Otevři ty dveře, Hal!" ) mai ka hoʻololi kiʻiʻoniʻoni o ka puke moʻolelo 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Ua kapa ʻo Steve Jobs i ka iPod he mea hana kikohoʻe holomua. "ʻO ke mele kekahi ʻāpana o ke ola o kēlā me kēia o mākou," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia i kēlā manawa. I ka hopena, ua lilo ka iPod i mea kaulana loa. Ma 2007, hiki iā Apple ke koi i 100 miliona iPod i kūʻai ʻia, a ua lilo ka mea pāʻani i mea kaulana loa a Apple a hiki i ka hiki ʻana mai o ka iPhone.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike hou i ka iPod maʻamau i kēia lā, akā ke kūʻai ʻia nei ma nā kikowaena kūʻai. I kekahi mau hihia, ua lilo ia i mea ʻohi waiwai nui, a kūʻai aku i kahi pūʻolo piha no nā huina kiʻekiʻe. ʻO ka iPod wale nō i kūʻai aku ʻo Apple i kēia lā ʻo ka iPod touch. Hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka iPod mua, hāʻawi ʻo ia ma mua o kanalima manawa o ka hiki ke mālama. ʻOiai ʻaʻole ʻo ka iPod he ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o ka ʻoihana a Apple i kēia lā, ua kākau ʻia i loko o kāna mōʻaukala.
