The 1st generation iPod was originally shipped with 5.0 GB hard drives. Later versions were available with a 5.0 GB or 10.0 GB hard drive. The 2nd generation iPod was available with a 5.0 GB, 10.0 GB, or 20.0 GB hard drive and an improved “touch wheel” that didnt actually turn. Both the1st and 2nd iPod feature similar iPod accessories but the iPod 2nd generation had a covered Firewire port, a headphone jack, and a hold switch enclosed in “clear” plastic rather than white. The iPod accessories added more value to 2nd generation iPod with a remote, a thinner FireWire cable, a carrying case, and models designed for use with Windows. iPod 3rd generation was at first shipped with a 10.0 GB, 15.0 GB, or 30.0 GB hard drive. Later the 10.0 GB hard drive was replaced with a 15.0 GB drive and the 30.0 GB hard drive was replaced with a 40.0 GB hard drive. The third generation iPod had many special and improved additional features.
