    Not that iTunes actually developed the iPod.





    I thought the aesthetics had something to do with it.



    that and marketing/branding.

    iTunes was actually based on an earlier piece of software called SoundJam.



    And I for one, liked Soundjam better -

    I was wrong.

    I just loaded up a copy of iTunes 1.0 under Classic.

    Under "File" menu is "New Consumer Electronics Device"

    The short cut is Command+Option+Control+Shift+N

    I selected the menu item and the computer just beach-balled for a good two minutes then schematics for the iPod started popping up on the screen.



    It was there all along!!!
