Memory Protection is an Apple news podcast set 20 years in the past.
Each month, Josh & Matt take you 20 years into Apple's past to discuss the news of the day, hardware, software and what was different about the Apple you know today.
We're back for more iPod discussion this month. The device was conceived, developed, and released in the span of 10 months, and marked a turn for Apple. It was a new (but not the first) push into consumer devices with a focus on their Digital Hub initiative. The move would prove extraordinarily successful and transform Apple from a computer manufacturer into a mainstream consumer brand. We dive into the history, our own iPod experiences, the legacy of the music player that changed the world, and more!

October 2001: The iPod
This is the big one folks! That's right it's the introduction of the iPod, that iconic pocket-sized device that changed how we listen to music. We review the tapes to see how it all went down at Apple Town Hall on October 23, 2001—it's a classic JobsNote. It's also the start of the spooky season so Apple introduces a satanic PowerBook, and Matt has a tale of the dead rising from the grave as he resurrects Shenmue 2 from it's dormant state. Buckle up it's going to be a good one.

Follow-Up
Zev - Feedback: on classic Mac OS, files didn’t need extensions. They used special metadata fields called the type and creator codes. Siracusa has some good rants about how much better they were, mostly on old Hypercritical episodes.
