The Watch Pocket That Held a Thousand Songs and Burned the Floor
This episode explores the remarkable story of the iPod Nano, from its dramatic unveiling to its surprising discontinuation. We delve into how a device designed to fit in the smallest pocket became a triumph of industrial design, a defendant in a multi-million dollar lawsuit, and even a fire hazard.
Person: Steve Jobs
Date: September 7, 2005
Product: iPod Nano
Development Period: Nine months
Lawsuit Settlement: Approximately twenty-two million dollars
- Steve Jobs unveiled the iPod Nano by pulling it from the watch pocket of his jeans, a pocket that had been without purpose for 117 years.
- The iPod Nano was developed in just nine months to replace the highly successful iPod Mini, which Apple decided to discontinue due to its hard drive's physical size limitations.
- The device was initially praised for its thinness, holding up to 1,000 songs, and selling one million units in 17 days.
- Early reports of easily scratched screens led to a class-action lawsuit in the U.S. and similar suits in Mexico and the U.K.
- First-generation iPod Nanos were involved in multiple overheating incidents, including one that set a man's pants on fire at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
