IPod (1st generation)

The original iPod, retroactively referred to as the 1st-generation iPod or iPod 1G, was released on October 23, 2001. It was still available on the market until April 2003. The iPod 1G existed in 5 and 10 GB variants.

History
When first introduced, the iPod 1G only existed in a 5 GB version. The 10 GB version was added in March 2002.

The iPod 1G is the only iPod ever to have a physically-movable scroll wheel. Apart from this, other unique features of the iPod 1G include:
 * All 5GB models are iPod 1Gs
 * There was no cap to protect the FireWire port

The last version of the iPod Software that can be applied on 1st-generation iPods is version 1.5. Support for all 15 languages (standard with Mac OS X) was included with version 1.0.4 (although version 1.0.3 included it first, despite a compatibility problem with blue-and-white Power Macintosh G3s).

The 1st-generation iPod sold for USD 399. There was also a 10 GB version of the 1st-generation iPod.
