Your First iPod

klm9210 · Apr 25, 2012, 04:01 PM

When did you get your first iPod? What model was it?

Me? A white 2GB Nano in 2005.

Dweez · Apr 25, 2012, 04:02 PM

A black 4 gig nano.

andalusia · Apr 25, 2012, 04:04 PM

A silver second gen 2GB nano, about five or six years ago now I guess! I remember when it arrived.. I was ecstatic

Hexiii · Apr 25, 2012, 04:05 PM

2 gen green nano

2006

Dessureault · Apr 25, 2012, 04:31 PM

1st gen black nano in 2005, bought with my own money when I was 11. that's what started it all for me with apple

Kate. · Apr 25, 2012, 04:35 PM

3rd generation with the four buttons bought in 2003. I still have it but it's been dead for a few years. It feels like an absolute brick compared to my 5th gen. nano. I've owned two classics, a mini, and a nano and that little 3rd gen. beast was by far my favorite.

3rd generation with buttons and red lights. Best iPod ever. Still works but the battery won't hold a charge. I use it almost every day.

Pinkie Pie · Apr 25, 2012, 05:00 PM

a 20GB in 2004.

MXSkier62 · Apr 25, 2012, 05:10 PM

First gen iPod 5GB (with moving click wheel) in early 2002

Well I hafta admit,

I never did the iPod thing. In my mind, there were tons of competitive products with similar or more storage for a fraction of the price (and usually, more features like FM radio). So my first iPod was my iPhone 4 32GB I got in 2010!

That said, I really do like the accessory market, compatibility and integration with everything, and how much better it plays with iTunes, et al. Definitely the best mp3 player out there, but it took them adding a smartphone into it to finally sell me. That kind of a feature is hard to look past

We bought 2 iPods on the same day.

A 512MB shuffle 1st gen for me and a 6GB mini 2nd gen for my wife.

30gb iPod Photo I believe it was called, back in 2005. I lost it a couple of years later though.

Scepticalscribe · Apr 26, 2012, 08:26 AM

A black 5G 30GB classic, bought in February 2006. It was the start of a beautiful relationship with certain Apple products......

StevenT42 · Apr 26, 2012, 10:37 AM

First generation, 5 gig, scroll wheel. Bought the day it was released in October 2001.

Starfighter · Apr 26, 2012, 03:40 PM

My currently is my first! It's an iPod Touch 4G, 8GB. I regret not buying a model with more storage since the games get bigger and bigger.

poorracerkid · Apr 26, 2012, 08:05 PM

Shuffle on the first day it came out.

vastoholic · Apr 27, 2012, 12:53 PM

If I recall correctly it was a green 4GB mini in 2004 followed by the second gen mini in 2005. Then I wouldn't buy another apple device until 2008 when I got the 1st gen iPod touch,

Silverbird0000 · Apr 30, 2012, 12:12 PM

A 15GB 3rd generation iPod. The one with the 4 backlit red buttons.
