No one on television can make me enjoy sitting through commercials quite like Stephen Colbert. Watch the master of product placement at his best as he hawks everything from Doritos to Bud Light Lime in the most entertaining ways possible.

1. Oct. 23, 2001: iPod 1G

   

   The iPod started humbly, capable of holding only 1000 songs on 5GBs, for $399. And it was only for Macs, a small market at the time. The Windows-compatible iPod 2G didn't launch till July 17, 2002.

2. 2. April 28, 2003: iPod 3G

   

   The 3G launched with a design "lighter and thinner than two CDs," with 10, 15, and 30GB models. The iTunes Store also opened this day, and sold more than a million songs in its first week.

3. 3. Jan. 6, 2004: iPod Mini

   

   Half the size of the original iPod, and in an array of colors, the Mini was the first iPod using Apple's new click-wheel.

4. 4. Oct. 26, 2004: iPod Color

   

   October 2004 brought the color version of the iPod--which could store up to 25,000 photos--as well as the special edition U2 model.

5. 5. Jan. 11, 2005: iPod Shuffle

   

   Steve Jobs unveiled the Shuffle as "smaller and lighter than a pack of gum and costs less than $100," and offered it in 512MB and 1GB models (120 and 240 songs, respectively).

6. 6. Sept. 7, 2005: iPod nano

   

   Innovative because of its size, despite having the same capacity for songs as the iPod Mini, the nano quickly became the no. 1 selling iPod.

7. 7. Oct. 12, 2005: iPod Video

   

   The first iPod Videos could hold up to 150 hours of video (via the iTunes Store), and also introduced the non-U2 black version.

8. 8. May 23, 2006: Nike+iPod

   

   Nike+iPod was a system of Nike shoes and the nano, which synced up to deliver music on pace with the runner's speed.

9. 9. Sept. 12, 2006: iPod Shuffle 2G

   

   Introduced the wearable Shuffle, in a multitude of colors like the nano, as well as games for the larger iPods, and iTunes 7, with cover flow.

10. 10. Jan. 9, 2007: iPhone

    

    Well, there's not much else to say about this one. (The iPhone's evolution won't be covered further, though, because it's not technically an iPod, you know.)

11. 11. April 9, 2007: 100m iPods sold

    

    In just less than six years, the total number of iPods sold topped 100 million, "the fastest selling music player in history."

12. 12. Sept. 5, 2007: iPod Touch

    

    The parred-down version of the iPhone, which could do basically everything the latter could, except place phone calls.

13. 13. Sept. 5, 2007: iPod nano 3G

    

    At the same event the Touch was announced, so was the new, squat version of the nano.

14. 14. Sept. 5, 2007: iPod Classic (6G)

    

    Steve Jobs announced a newer and sleeker iPod with a much larger hard drive on September 5, 2007, which virtually froze the progression of the original design. The Classic is still the largest version of the iPod line, and consistently sells, though not as well as the nano.

15. 15. July 11, 2008: App Store

    

    In July of 2008, the App Store launched for the 2.0 release of the iPod Touch and iPhone 3G.

16. 16. Sept. 9, 2008: iPod nano 4G

    

    September of 2008 brought the nano's return to skinny styling, with more colors and storage. A slightly updated Touch was also announced.

17. 17. Mar. 11, 2009: iPod Shuffle 3G

    

    The third generation of iPod Shuffle had no buttons--they were moved to the earbuds--and was still wearable, and cost much less.

18. 18. Sept. 9, 2009: iPod nano with video

    

    The nano received a camera in this refresh, though no other models did--as was expected.

19. 19. Sept. 1, 2010: iPod nano touch

    

    The nano touch was announced on September 1 of this year, virtually eliminating the famous click-wheel from the iPod lineup (excluding the iPod Classic, of course).

1. Amazon Kindle with a book attached

   

   Sometimes staring at a digital screen gives you eyes strain, which doesn't happen as much with regular old paper books. So, if you're reading your Kindle and your eyes get tired, just flip open the handy book attached to the back of the Kindle and pick up where you left off.

2. HDTV with a mounted 16mm projector

   

   Crisp, clear displays are a fad. Adding a 16mm projector to modern tv units will give people the option of what definition they choose to watch programs in.

3. Roomba Record Player / Automatic Vacuum

   

   The Roomba is already round, how hard could it be just to throw a record player on top?

4. Xbox 8-Track

   

   Current Xbox 360 systems use DVDs, but do you have any idea how much information you can store on an 8-track? I bet a lot, each tape has eight tracks!

5. MacBook-o-graph

   

   It takes a little getting used to, but once you figure out how to use the Mac's new telegraph touch pad, you'll never go back to standard trackpads ever again.

I kind of hate this (too steampunky ) but it seems important to let you know that such a thing exists.

Do people not like the black Nano so much? It's $15 cheaper on Amazon than through Apple.
