Apple released the first iPod on October 23, 2001, The first touch screen IPod was released on September 5, 2007, and the most recent iPods were released on September 8, 2010. Before 2001 all digital music players were big and clunky, or small and useless, during this time Apple saw an opportunity and made their first iPod, even though it was worth $400, and it couldn't connect to windows, it sold beyond everyone's expectations. The people who worked on the first iPod were Jon Rubinstein, then the company's senior vice president of hardware engineering; now at Hewlett-Packard, Jonathan Ive, senior vice president of design at Apple, Tony Fadell, an engineer and former senior vice president of the iPod division, Michael Dhuey, an engineer; now at Cisco Systems, Tim Wasko, an interface designer,Steve Jobs, the company's CEO, who oversaw the project. IPods have been selling for 10 years now but in January the total number of iPods sold was 304 million.
