iPod anniversary

10 Years ago this month Apple introduced the iPod.  Most people criticized it out of the gate but here's on guy who got it amazingly right...

Some of my favorite lines:
"The iPod...is more than an MP3 player; it's a prototype of the data wallets that we'll all carry around within the decade."
"The iPod descendant will include the hard drive and possibly the processor and OS for running a network PC."
"People used to argue whether the trend was toward an all-in-one gadget that does everything as opposed to a collection of specialized gadgets. If I'm right about the iPod, both sides of this argument are correct; people will use one comprehensive iPod-like storage and connectivity unit in combination with every specialized peripheral you can think of."

Very cool coming from someone 10 years ago...
