Yeah the ipods had their moment in the limelight until about 2008-2010. The season of the witch years where everyone was doing the whole evolutionary cyborg thing with their mobile device. My first was a blackberry torch 9800. Capable of storing 32 gb micro sd. There was no need to have both ipod and smartphone. The ipods were quickly obsolete.
2007-2011 were amazingly far out years that went too fast. It does seem like some alternative time stream. Ever hear of the mandela effect?
