It's been ten years now that a little gadget came to our lives and made it musical. It's something most people are hooked onto these days, and can't imagine life without. The love for music in people grew even more, when the `itsy bitsy' iPod touched their lives.

The tiny little music payer device has become a rage, since it was first introduced about 10 years ago.

It was the creation of the great visionary Mr. Steve Jobs, from Apple. There were so many heavy versions of music players in the past and people used to love them. But when this little handy gadget was launched, it became a huge hit, and all the others were sidelined in an instant.

People could carry their playlists along with them all the time; they could keep their personal favorite songs with them and listen to them on the go, in the gym, at home, at the grocery, everywhere!

There could be as many as 1000 songs saved in the device at a time, and this is what made it such a hit. Another plus point was that it didn't need any battery cells like the former walkmans and other players.

All one needs to do is plug the iPod with a computer system and it could be charged for a period of 10 hours at a time. It is a personalized music player and one doesn't need to bear other people's choices of music anymore. They have the option of plugging earphones in their ears and playing their favorites, anywhere and everywhere. This is the sort of technological freedom, the iPod brought into the lives of millions. It is truly as great invention; Happy Birthday dear IPod.
