The original iPod, the very first one with the wheel that actually turned.
I don't think I've ever known a product I loved more. I got so much pleasure from it that it made me want to learn more about product design.
I thought the later static touch-wheel wasn't as good, and firewire was such a great way to load it with music, fast charging and super fast data transfer.
I've never been as happy with anything "cloud based" - something is always broken somewhere.
I had the first-gen, spinny-wheel iPod. While I love (still have it) as much as you, I don’t think it was as good as the touch wheels that followed shortly after. By the end of mine’s daily use life, the wheel had loosened up enough that the music would get louder as I walked because my gait would rotate the wheel. Past that, it was perfect and I cherish still owning it, I just wish the wheel had held it’s firmness.
