1G vs. 5G iPod on Flickr

My friend Jason, who is one of those rare souls who still has a 1st generation iPod lying around, just sent me a link to a few pics he has...

Whenever I get around to purchasing a 5G iPod (along with my Intel Powerbook), I'll put it next to my 20GB 2nd gen iPod. That model was the thickest, heaviest model ever made. Solid as a brick, but nearly as heavy as one.

I just got a new 5th gen iPod, and I really miss that mechanical scroll wheel. Almost every time I click the middle button, it interprets it as a quick scroll follwed by a click. Infuriating!!

December 03 2005 at 9:20 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI also think that the first 10GB iPods where actually still Ver. 1.0 as I do have a mechanical scroll wheel which gives nice feedback, the newer ones don't always seem to work :( Or what exactly was the difference between the original 5GB and the revised 10GB?
December 03 2005 at 8:47 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyActually, the 10GB started as more of a generation 1.5. My trusty iPod is a 10GB, but it still has the mechanical scroll wheel (which I still prefer to any of the newer versions).
December 03 2005 at 7:23 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyYeah I have exactly the same setup. Just got a new 30GB to replace my 5GB. I must say, the best part about the original is the scroll wheel. To me, it doesn't look ancient... it's more classic. What amazes me is the comparison of 4G to 5G. One generation difference, and yet the 5G makes the 4G look positively ancient.
