They actually had a second version that included the iPod i am pretty sure.
I know that the original did not have one 99% sure it didn't.
There was a remake however i am pretty sure.
I'm saying this is fake. I googled it and got several links. here is one, where there is clearly no iPod:

and another:

EDIT: If there was a second version, that is believable. but it wasn't in 1984.

Airforce is right (except it wasn't 1999, it was 2004). Apple remastered the original 1984 commercial to include the iPod.
The original ad absolutely did not include the iPod.

The updated ad was made in 2004 for the 20th anniversary of the original ad. How is this not still fresh in everyone's mind?
In his defense, I can see how he thought this was the original ad. Nearly everyone is aware of this ad, but if you're not aware of the remake then I can see how someone could think this interesting.rdowns said:Of course they had the iPod in 1984.
Where do people get this stuff?

I think the person just didn't know that they did a remake, sorry if you don't, but people make mistakes!

I had an iPod back in 1984 (even though I was only ~2 years old). It had a spacious 512KB hard drive and only weighed 20 pounds.....those were the days.....
I wonder how many songs you could fit on that bad boy.dmw007 said:I had an iPod back in 1984 (even though I was only ~2 years old). It had a spacious 512KB hard drive and only weighed 20 pounds.....those were the days.....

Actually, how many people from this forum had the chance to play with the first "portable" Mac, in 1989 ?

The great-grand-father of the iBook was actually a SE/30 without Fpu and re-designed to be able to fold, so that you could say "hey, it's closed, now it's portable".
Now, it was really not lightweight, bad screen, and a marketing disaster.
So, an iPod in 1984... Yeah, pretty much the estimation of dmw007
