Apple released the original iPod six years ago this week. During its first six years, the iPod has gone from a 5 GB Mac-only music player to a cross-platform 160 GB music and video player and the most popular media player on the market. Happy birthday, iPod. The first iPod cost US$399 and measured 2.43 by 4.02 by .78 inches. In comparison, the 160 GB iPod classic -- the model that most closely physically matches the original -- costs $349, and measures 2.4 by 4.1 by .53 inches.
