IPod Remote

The iPod Remote was a peripheral that was introduced with the 2nd-generation iPod on July 17, 2002. It supported all iPod models and was also available separately for 39.

Description
The iPod Remote included control buttons for volume controls, track skipping, and play/pause. It included Apple earphones with a shorter cable. The remote was bundled with high-capacity models of the 2nd and 3rd-generation iPod.

Discontinuation
On January 10, 2006, the iPod Remote was superseded by the iPod Radio Remote, an iPod shuffle-like peripheral which included its own radio receiver. On March 11, 2009, the 3rd-generation iPod shuffle introduced new Apple earbuds which integrated a much smaller remote on the right earphone cord.
