Apple's Pod of gold
Herald Sun (Australia)
If ever a single device has had an impact on the mindset of consumers way beyond its actual size, it is Apple's iPod. Barely larger than a deck of cards, the beautifully designed, deceptively simple digital audio player has redefined the notion of listening to music on the move. It is the Walkman of the 21st century.
Despite several copycat efforts in recent months, this is still the best place to buy music, legally, and it's more popular than ever, selling 2.7 million songs a week. Choose from more than 700,000 tracks or check out the new celebrity playlists. Another new treat: music videos.
