I'm doing a school project on Apple and the music industry, and I'm trying to find a good complete timeline of events related to iTunes & iPod. I found a pretty good one at http://fifth.estate.rmit.edu.au/time...f-the-ipod.php but it ends in October 2004...
I got a web site, but Windows deleted all of my favorites, last night. So now, I'm swearing against it and I'm impatient about buying my mac. I'll see if I can find it again.
This is what you are looking for. It is up to date and includes events for all ipods and itunes as well as other programs. Scroll down to ipods they are almost at the bottom of the page.
Here are some ITMS highlights ... courtesy of MacDailyNews:
