The Launch of the iPod
April 18th, 2006I came across this 2001 video of Steve Jobs announcing the new iPod. Its interesting to see how Jobs’ presentations have evolved, but not changed; especially for me, since I’ve only been following His Stevieness’ keynote speeches since 2003. There’s one slip-up, however, with Jobs calling the MP3 format open. Its not. Give Ogg Vorbis a shot if you want to try a true open audio codec that hopefully some day, will give the MP3 format some tough competition. Why would you care? Well, it would bring down some of the costs of digital music licensing, and therefore content prices. More importantly, it would be a triumph for open source efforts.
