Happy Tuesday,

Apple is expected to announce some new or updated products tomorrow at its now-traditional September event in San Francisco. It’s amazing that the first iPod was introduced over eight years ago.

Revolutionary in a time of 128 megabyte flash-based players, the first iPod’s 5 gigabyte hard drive was a huge leap forward. By today’s standards, the first iPod—the size and approximate weight of a deck of cards—is laughably bulky. I can’t imagine buying an iPod these days that holds only 1,000 songs.

Of course, today’s iPods, except the shuffle, all hold more than the original did. Something tells me we’re going to see some awesome new stuff from Apple tomorrow.

As always, thanks for reading, and keep in touch.
