IPod (2nd generation)

The 2nd generation iPod was released by Apple Computer on July 17, 2002.

Features
It had a few hardware improvements such as a redesigned hold switch, a cover for the FireWire port and slightly more rounded body. The main improvement was the scroll wheel switching from a mechanical wheel to a touch sensetive wheel which is used to this day. It also sported a larger hard-drive capacity, now offering 10GB or 20GB versions.

It also was the first iPod with Windows support through the use of Musicmatch Jukebox, a third-party bundled application as iTunes had not yet been released for Windows yet. Apple continued to sell iPod 1st generation 5GB versions into this products lifespan.
