Just got this today, I know its not an iPod but definitely worthy of any decent collection!

Brand new iPhone 1st Generation 8GB! Had a quick look on eBay etc and can't find any of these for sale in the UK?

As far as I know its not worth that much at the moment, but in a few years, who knows?

Oh, nice! Its about to become a classic like the first iPod! Do you have the box and everything? Do NOT open and use it... ;)

I do indeed have the box and all its accessories, however the serial number on the iPhone does not match the one on the box as the iPhone was replaced by Apple. Does anyone here have sealed box 1st Gen iPhones?

UPDATE:
New additions to my collection.
After opening my Slate 32GB Touch 5th Gen, it couldn't be added to my sealed collection. So now I've got a blue 32GB Touch 5G sealed which does qualify!!!
I also have a new addition coming in the post. Just bought it off eBay last night, but not going say what it is. Up to you guys to guess ;)...

So exciting :)

I don't have a 1st gen iPod... tho I wish I did. But here is the semi-official video of Apple releasing their very first iPod.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSqNHGJw2qI

NO ONE is allowed to call themselves a true iPod fan unless they have seen THIS (above) video.

Semi-official?? It was the official pitching video shown to the press at the iPod introduction at Apple in Cupertino 23 october 2001! :confused:

----------

No...
Well I'll give you a hint. It's not an iPod.

Oh...an iPod BOX??? :D (kidding)
I'll bet its an iPad mini??

Well no, but close. It's an iPad 1st Gen BNIB (Sealed) - This was the first tablet produced that really revolutionised the tablet industry. It will be a piece of history in its own time.
Thought I'd get one now while there'd be a few and not a ridiculous prices...

It's semi-official because Apple did NOT post it to YouTube (therefore it could possibly be edited or even tampered with). Thus I only called it "semi-official" at best.

But otherwise, you are correct, it seems that the YouTube video I linked appears to be the original Apple press video which introduced the very first iPod to the world.

Just thought that today was a total loss after losing out on the 3rd Gen Sealed Classic we all knew about, but I wasn't willing to pay THAT much for it!!!

Anyway, day proved to be a bit better, just won a iPod Mini Sealed (2nd Gen 4GB) for a relatively good price :)

The link you posted would be interesting. Seller has only 2 feedback at 0%. Not sure how much people are willing to pay to someone with no feedback..

I used to have a 20GB first or second generation iPod (not sure). It was white, monochrome screen and the click wheel was different to what we see today (had pressable buttons at each point of the wheel).

This one:

Is it now rare?

Thanks.

PS - Mine was sadly stolen otherwise I would still have kept it.

Yours was a second generation iPod with touch wheel. The wheel was not moving like the first generation wheel. Its not that rare in a used condition. ;)
