iPod intro excerpt

When the original iPod was introduced about 5 years ago, Apple showed a promo video. This is a 4 minute portion of that video, in my opinion, the good portion. In it Jonathan Ive talks about the design of the iPod and how they were going for something that would be an icon. It would seem he was right and Apple succeeded in creating just that. Also talking about it are Moby, Smashmouth and Seal, and each one of them gives what seems to me to be a very honest and sincere viewpoint on the new device. Seal especially, you get the feeling he's not just sitting there being paid to say nice things about it, but he really sees the iPod as the beginning of a revolution in portable technology.

its hard to imagine that the shy English guy in the video that is seemingly ordinary with bog-standard abilities is actually one of the most talented and influential designers to have ever walked the face of the Earth!!

Ives is a hero of mine and forever will be

Moby is so cool, I think I have seen him at least 10 time's just roaming around the village. Jonathan is a genius and really hard worker, him and the entire team at Apple, which is why I love Apple!
