The complete history of Apple's iPod Our iPod adventure begins in October 2001, as Apple launched its first portable music player. The first incarnation of the device that was to revolutionize the music industry had a mechanical scroll wheel and launched with 5GB and 10GB capacities, starting at a shade under £300. The name 'iPod' was coined for use with the Apple music player by copywriter Vinnie Chieco. He was called in by Apple to help market the new product. Curiously, Apple had already registered the trademark 'iPod', but had originally intended it to be used as the name for its Internet kiosks, though these never saw the light of day.
