Are you an avid iPod user? If you are, then this book is for you! Author Leander
Kahney, has written an outstanding book that examines the birth of iPod. Kahney,
begins by describing the iPod's inauspicious introduction by non other than
Steve Jobs. Then, he introduces the iPod's unacknowledged father, Tony Fadell.
The author continues by looking at new listening habits, the revelatory joys at
shuffle play, and how letting people peek at your music collection can ruin your
image. In addition, he discusses iPod's runaway word of mouth, the emergence of
homemade iPod ads, and celebrity users. The author also examines iPod culture.
Then, the author looks at iPod homages from fans: the thousands of snaps of
iPods in famous places the fantastic future devices fans design to show their
wishes and desires and, iPod culture in New York as revealed by online personal
ads. Next, he discusses iPodrepreneurs, ot iPod entrepreneurs, and the booming
business of accessorizing the iPod. Finally, he wraps itup with a look at the
cultural impact: how iPod is changing social snobbery on college campuses, and
its impact at Microsoft. After reading this excellent book, you'll learn all
about iPod's meteoric rise to fame, and the culture that has grown up around it.

players and the homage they pay it.
