Surprised much? Neither is the rest of the world. It only took six years for the hippest fruit loving computer manufacturer to make the iPod a household name and cause award winning entertainers to admit disabilities such as amnesia:
“It’s hard to remember what I did before the iPod,” said Mary J. Blige, GRAMMY Award-winning singer.
At least she’ll always have Smash Mouth to rid herself of the evil voices in her head. Besides the player itself, accessories, music downloads and puppy suicides have reached all time highs:
The iPod has also sparked an unprecedented ecosystem of over 4,000 accessories made specifically for the iPod that range from fashionable cases to speaker systems, and more than 70 percent of 2007-model US automobiles currently offer iPod connectivity.
Love it or hate, the iPod is one piece of hardware that ranks up there with all other evil robots like HAL and Niero, come on Zune, pick up the pace.
And yes, the above image does the animation, check it after the jump.
