"No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame."

Twenty years is a long time.



I noticed that the NOMAD lives on in Apple having to be extra specific in today's announcement:

> The original iPod, introduced on October 23, 2001, was the first MP3 player to pack a mind-blowing 1,000 songs and a 10-hour battery into a stunning 6.5-ounce package.

The NOMAD had more storage than the first iPod (6GB vs. 5GB), but weighed 14oz and had a four hour battery life.[0]
