Here's the MacRumors iPod announcement article. So funny seeing all the negative posts about it 12 years later. The iPod sure has come a long way since being introduced at 5Gb $399

The comments are hilarious, bet they feel silly now.
Lots of people will say its crap regardless of how good or bad it is or before they get a chance to use it.Comments on the original iPhone and iPad are already silly. Can't wait to see that happens to iOS 7
how can you have an opinion about something that you have not even seen.
MacRumors got it right when it said the iPod wouldn't sell
And we'll get it right again when we say that iOS7 going flat is going to be a huge disaster.
You just watch.
The comments are hilarious, bet they feel silly now.
To be fair the iPod really didn't sell until nearly 3 years later with the introduction of USB connectivity. the itunes music store helped too. From there it took off.
The Apple TV on a somewhat similar track atleast 3 years in. Not sure if it'll skyrocket in sales though.
All that hype for an MP3 player? Break-thru digital device? The Reality Distiortion Field is starting to warp Steve's mind if he thinks for one second that this thing is gonna take off.
When did MacRumors say that?
