For the past 10 years, the iPod has been a friend to music lovers, a bane to industry tradition, and a cultural catalyst. Its time as a standalone media player (without the bells and whistles apps provide) may have come and gone, but its influence will last forever; it's entwined in our cultural DNA. The digital media revolution first promised--and delivered--by the iPod 10 years ago lives on in a new generation of world-changing Apple products. In that way, the iPod's story will continue for years to come.
