Someone out there is liable to actually spend $129 on this original iPod. I don’t even know if it’s available to buy even though there is an Add to Cart button. But more power to you if you have extra cash laying around to spend on a 5GB MP3 player. Truth be told though, this first generation was a very satisfying device. The scroll wheel was actually mechanical and you had to physically move it. Actually, I kind of wanna buy one.
Even though the picture shows a 3rd gen device, all the specs and model number listed in the URL points to the October 2001 release. So go ahead, pull out that credit card, and lets see if this really works. You first.

I have a first gen bought for christmas that first year if you are interested in one of the first ones made :P
I’ve still got mine; and use it too.
Good one
they also have the 1st gen ipod shuffle but i think its sold out already also some people have been saying that it is a glitch on their website
I’m not sure why Crunch picked this story up when it was already debunked in the comments on Gizmodo an hour and a half ago.
i’ve never seen that commercial, but if i had, that guy’s dancing wouldn’t have enticed me at all to buy that.
*Only* 1,000 songs? Those were the days.
YOU CAN’T MAKE ME CARE.
And the world was never the same.
