Apple Founder Steve Jobs took the tech world by storm upon the launch of the original iPod back in 2001.The gadget quickly became a bestseller and would soon change the way people listened to music worldwide.

Users could choose to purchase the music player in five metallic colours: blue, pink, silver, green and gold.The range was later replaced by the Nano line in 2005.When the iPod Nano arrived in 2005, users were impressed at how easily it could slip into pockets.Several generations of the slim device were released over the next decade.The Shuffle was the smallest device in the iPod family and was known for playing tracks 'on shuffle' - meaning at random - in no particular order.

The device was designed for consumers unfazed by the ability to choose songs and playlists, due to there being no LED screen.6 of 17
