The iPod from the 50′s still beats today’s iPod
Faithful Macenstein reader Alfie P sent in this “What if the iPod came out in the 50′s?” parody ad, and I must say in many ways, it beats today’s model.
First, it’s sexy as hell. Let’s just get that out of the way right up front. But take a look at some of the other killer features it boasts that today’s does not:
1 – Built in speaker loud enough to listen to on the beach
2 – User-replaceable battery
3 – Comfortable earphones
Who cares that it can only hold 20 minutes of music? Back then I think there were only 3 songs anyway, none of which was more than 2 minutes.

So you’re saying Apple once believed in user replaceable batteries for their iPod? I miss the good ole days!
What? I replaced the battery in my iPod Mini. That didn’t hurt so much.
and songs were like 20 minutes long back then…
i like how they used the disembodied hands #geekout
That’s actually good art. Good one.
