- ganjadude4391, on 10/10/2007, -1/+34ya know, i really dont like getting sent to stories that are mid article
- MikeonTV, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23http://news.com.com/i/ne/p/photo/pod5_300x603.jpg
- drphaser, on 10/10/2007, -3/+25no pics :(
- timusca, on 10/10/2007, -0/+131,000 songs. In your suitcase.
- jakejohnson, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13Wow. I had to search hard to find the relevant content.
And I mean REALLY hard. - houndeyex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6So this is not really Apple's idea. This is some other guy using an Apple computer to create a musical device.
- crackedplastic, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Seems like the main page was submitted already, so geekchic duped this, using the second page. http://digg.com/tech_news/A_trip_down_computer_memory_lane_CNET_News_com
- HappyScrappy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4So, by playing music, they meant it had a musical keyboard attached to it (see pics).
That makes it an instrument, not a music player. - sykotic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4picture
http://news.com.com/2300-1042_3-6203288-13.html?tag=ne.gall.pg - slapded, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7what the ***** is the point to click this story with no pics?? bury
- rdwarlock, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3No Pic, No Care
- DaleoftheUK, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5"early Mac prototype and which also was a portable music player"
They didn't call it an iPod, so it isn't the earliest iPod. Doesn't look like one, thats for sure. - ModernGeek, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Go to the first page of the article, and then scroll to the middle of the page, and click the slideshow. It is in slide number 13. Or, if you don't feel like looking for it: http://i.n.com.com/i/ne/p/2007/portable-music_550x366.jpg
- turpenine, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4http://news.com.com/2300-1042_3-6203288-13.html?tag=ne.gall.pg
- motheroats, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2just imagine, we can revolutionize the cd industry. one iPod at a time....
- dajuggernaut, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3no picture = no digg
- noahhoward, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The rest of the article is far more interesting that the blurb about the 'iPod'.
- gllopc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Using their logic, a music box from the 1700s is an ancestor of the iPod. I'm sure it's inventor could be traced to an Apple employee some how.
- dajuggernaut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2now there, dont get your panties all in a bunch
- ExSlashdotter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1no pic + cnet = no digg
- MacParrot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I agree. While hearing stuff about old Apple gear is kinda cool, the rest of the story was much more entertaining. I wonder if they'll ever arrange this into a traveling show. A lot more people would be able to see this. I'd pay to see it if it was in my area.
- gllopc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah - but it is an "ancestor". I don't think they ever said it's the first iPod. I get your point, though.
- PhoenixAvatar2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Description says it all?
- TheSeeker11, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1http://aycu25.webshots.com/image/23144/2005874743824765926_rs.jpg
- Kitsune818, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I'd love to have my monitor in portrait mode like the old Alto, just seems to make more sense for the amount of documents I work with where I end up scrolling all the time.
- bassman730, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Pictures or it didn't happen
- blurplevtx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Flickr mirror: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexisalex/1184936766/
- lexbaby, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Woo hoo! 460+ Diggs for 2 paragraphs of info.
- morcheeba, on 10/10/2007, -0/+195 seconds of 2kHz, 6-bit music... which will sound terrible. You could get 20 seconds of a 56kbps MP3.
But, the Apple II only had 1-bit hardware. - mikehill33, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Gotta love CNet keeping to the purist (read: failed) strategy of not hyper linking outside the site.
- meshman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"This is the ancestor of the iPod."
The reasons why this claim is a giant pile would be too numerous to list here. - TdiFFRob6876, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Dugg for Xerox Alto... Ha Xerox makes paper.
- drconnery, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I agree, I doubt they were even thinking about music being on a computer back then. It looks to be some sort of sythesizer thats movable. I think Keith got bored one day and decided to see wha the can do to it.
- holygram, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1New to the internets?
- joshuastarr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Stop spamming the forums. Buried.
- TeamWookie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0How many uncompressed songs can you fit on a floppy disk from 1979? That computer is not an ipod prototype.
- chuckiej, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1No photos in article of any machines = lame
- tylercanopy, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2I went to the article expecting to see pics. Said pics were not delivered.
- andrew522, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2go to the first page of the article for pics. the poster did a link to the second page.
EDIT: well, there are photos on the first page, but none of the apple device we are talking about - micahwilli, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Whiners,
All the pics you want are in unamas's comment link.
Thanks! - ani625, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1"original" how original !
- CoreyBaehman, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0Needs more pictures.
- alextryie, on 10/10/2007, -6/+0Lame...where are the real picks man?
