Five and a half years ago, in November 2001, Apple released its first line of iPods. Since then, the company has released more than a dozen models of music players with 5 'generation' original iPods, two models of iPod mini series, two models of iPod nano and two models of iPod suffle.

The storage capacity of iPod music players using hard drives has also increased rapidly to meet users' music storage needs, from 5 GB to 80 GB. The iPod mini music player size also shrunk to just about the size of a match box to be able to attach to a lapel or jacket.

The success of iPod sales this time is also in line with the thriving business opportunity of the iTunes online music store. This software helps users organize data, listen to music as well as buy and download legal music online. The number on iTunes currently has at least more than 5 million songs, 350 TV shows and more than 400 movies.

According to Apple, since the launch, the iTunes online store has sold more than 2.5 billion songs, 50 million television shows and 1.3 million movies. And of course, iTunes also became the world's most popular online music, movie, and television show.
