October 23 is national iPod day.
Yes; on this day in 2001, Steve Jobs announced a device that would revolutionize the music industry and pave the way for Apple's future success. This was what we now know as the 1st generation iPod.

Wow.what a amazing piece of technology.

HI Thomas - as you likely know Apple has discontinued the iPad Nano & Shuffle Model Updates - believe that the iPad Touch is the survivor? SO, this may be a holiday heading for extinction - my iPod Touch (2G) is now on their Vintage/Obsolete Lists (see below - LINK).

I mainly use my 'old' iPod as my MP3 player (almost daily) - only 32 GB and would like to add a LOT more music - might buy my wife an iPhone 8/contract and take her iPhone 6 (w/o a contact - my 'dumb' phone does well when I need to use it, which is rarely) - believe she has 128 GB on that phone - don't really want her to migrate to the iPhone X. Curious how others are thinking about these posits of mine? Dave :)

I have several iPods. My oldest is a second generation iPod from 2002. The battery still holds a charge and I still use it occasionally.

Yeah I hear ya but just because something is really old or discontinued does not mean you can not use it.
