YouTube has the video from Steve Job's original iPod product launch. He spends a lot of time defining the market Apple saw at the time and why he thought the iPod was going to be a big hit.
A five gigabyte drive that holds, he says, a thousand songs: "your whole music library." Not quite. I can't fit my whole music library on my sixty gig iPod. The video's interesting for it's astute marketing analysis and predictions (in hindsight, at least). I must be an Apple geek, because when Jobs finally unveils the iPod after five minutes of market analysis and tech specs, I got goose bumps (a reaction that I find sort of disconcerting; I hope it was just an unrelated chill or something).
