How Long Have Ipods been around?
Did people have them in early fall of 2005? Were they all big an clunky then? I'm writing something and I don't want to have an anachronism. Thanks.

3. I had one of the first generation ones.

It was the size of a Peterbuilt tractor unit and had enough memory for half a song (which was stored on a paper roll). It was powered by coal and weighted eleven tons. Things have certainly come a long way since then.
