"Budget MP3 players market can be divided into three categories. First up we have "Ultra-Cheap"—simple devices that don't offer much additional functionality beyond basic music playback. These players typically cost well under $100 and make good choices for music lovers on a budget, or anyone who fears losing an expensive device to a treadmill or, worse, the cold, hard pavement. Compact and portable, at this price they're also easily replaceable. Players like the screenless Apple iPod shuffle and the cute SanDisk Sansa Fuze are top picks." (read the full article here)

The article itself lists 10 amazing MP3 players that won't put a huge dent in your pocket book.  So next time your thinking about purchasing a cheap iPod, consider some alternatives before you make the choice.  But, don't listen to us, we're still pushing for Apple.

Today's question of the day has probably crossed all of our minds at some point. Who actually thought of inventing the iPod?

To answer this question there are really two parts... The simple part and the long explanation. We will give you both:

Simple Explanation:
Jonathan Ive, currently a senior VP at Apple, is widely regarded as the main person responsible with the industrial design behind the original iPod and other manifestations thereof.

You can read an article about him on Wikipedia or visit his fan website.

Long Story:
iPod came from Apple's "digital hub" category,[5] when the company began creating software for the growing market of personal digital devices. Digital cameras, camcorders and organizers had well-established mainstream markets, but the company found existing digital music players "big and clunky or small and useless" with user interfaces that were "unbelievably awful,"[5] so Apple decided to develop its own. As ordered by CEO Steve Jobs, Apple's hardware engineering chief Jon Rubinstein assembled a team of engineers to design the iPod line, including hardware engineers Tony Fadell and Michael Dhuey,[6] and design engineer Jonathan Ive.[5] The product was developed in less than one year and unveiled on October 23, 2001. Jobs announced it as a Mac-compatible product with a 5 GB hard drive that put "1,000 songs in your pocket."

Uncharacteristically, Apple did not develop the iPod software entirely in-house, instead using PortalPlayer's reference platform based on 2 ARM cores. The platform had rudimentary software running on a commercial microkernel embedded operating system. PortalPlayer had previously been working on an IBM-branded MP3 player with Bluetooth headphones.[5] Apple contracted another company, Pixo, to help design and implement the user interface under the direct supervision of Steve Jobs.[5] As development progressed, Apple continued to refine the software's look and feel. Starting with the iPod Mini, the Chicago font was replaced with Espy Sans. Later iPods switched fonts again to Podium Sans — a font similar to Apple's corporate font, Myriad. iPods with color displays then adopted some Mac OS X themes like Aqua progress bars, and brushed metal in the lock interface. In 2007, Apple modified the iPod interface again with the introduction of the sixth-generation iPod Classic and third-generation iPod Nano by changing the font to Helvetica and, in most cases, splitting the screen in half by displaying the menus on the left and album artwork, photos, or videos on the right (whichever was appropriate for the selected item).

We thought we could follow-up last week's question (What does iPod stand for?) with this stumper:

Define iPod

Dictionary.com has this to say:
iPod
noun
(trademark) a pocket-sized device used to play music files

Pretty vague yet almost sounds about right until they throw this in...
IPOD
International Program of Ocean Drilling

Well that's no good! They are just taking us back to the acronym thing again. But, we want to know... What really does iPod mean?

Let it be known, we checked every official source and got majority bullshit response. The best possible definition we got for what iPod means, is from a random website called mariosalexandrou.com this is it...

iPod Definition

An iPod is a palm-sized, electronic device primarily created to play music. Unlike a traditional Walkman or portable CD-player, the iPod is capable of storing a large number of tracks and playing for many, many hours on a single battery charge.

The iPod owes much of its success not in what it does, but in how it does it. Apple, the creator of the iPod, seems to have found the perfect combination of simplicity and functionality. Plus, a clever
marketing campaign and Apple's ongoing efforts to remain relevant, resulted in the iPod striking a chord with the right demographic in a way that no other portable music player has in recent times.

Bravo Mario, you've done it yet again! Check back next week for another iPod mystery question solved.

Today's question of the day is one shrouded in mystery and debate. There are several conflicting sources on this question however, the general consensus is that it stands for:

"iPod" = for "i" for Internet and "Pod" for "Portable Open Database"

Explanation: The "i" is the same as it is in iBook and iMac, it stands for "internet". POD is from the internal prototypes Apple used to create the software, it stands for Portable Open Database which is essentially the software that runs an iPod.

Alternate answers include:
Interface Protocol Option Devices

Wikipedia offers this insight to the matter:
The name iPod was proposed by Vinnie Chieco, a freelance copywriter, who (with others) was called by Apple to figure out how to introduce the new player to the public. After Chieco saw a prototype, he thought of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey and the phrase "Open the pod bay door, Hal!", which refers to the white EVA Pods of the Discovery One spaceship.[5] Apple researched the trademark and found that it was already in use. Joseph N. Grasso of New Jersey had originally listed an "iPod" trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in July 2000 for Internet kiosks. The first iPod kiosks had been demonstrated to the public in New Jersey in March 1998, and commercial use began in January 2000, but had apparently been discontinued by 2001. The trademark was registered by the USPTO in November 2003, and Grasso assigned it to Apple Computer, Inc. in 2005.

Well, there you have it folks. There is still no clear answer for what the iPod stands for. Perhaps it's an acronym or maybe just brand name. You be the judge!

    Tue Oct 23, 2001 02:20 PM

    Link to the original SlashDot article entitled, "Apple releases iPod"

    The BrownFury writes
    "At an invitation only event Apple has released their new MP3 player called the iPod. iPod is the size of a deck of cards. 2.4" wide by 4" tall by .78" thick 6.5 ounces. 5 GB HDD, 10 hr battery life, charged via FireWire. Works as a firewire drive as well. Works in conjunctions with iTunes 2. Here are Live updates"
    . No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

    Not only did SlashDot insult the iPod it filed this article in the "well-thats-not-very-exciting dept." We guess iPod had the last laugh here. SlashDot didn't have it all wrong though. The original iPod wasn't the most exciting multimedia player in the world, it just did what other gadgets did already - better. And it still does!

    Slashdot is still an amazing website and continues to make good and bad predictions of the future ;)
