Prototype iPod image discovered

The product that becomes renowned for being functional, elegant, and beautiful arguably started as an ugly ducking.

Per Tony Fadell’s and Panic’s tweets, an image of an early prototype has been discovered and shared online, and it’s arguably a lot more functional than elegant. With barely anything of a screen and individual “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” buttons as well as the earliest version of the ubiquitous click wheel, this was the beginning of Apple’s iPod, which eventually became a lot more attractive as well as changed the world.

It may not be as beautiful as the final product, but it’s still a cool thing to behold.
