Apple Still Selling the Original iPod for $130?

leave the iPod sense of touch and iPhone — and all of these voguish , new equipment . think of the original iPod of 2001 ? The 5 GB blank brick with a mechanical scroll wheel ? Well , it looks like you’re able to still buy one from Apple , today .

TUAW dug upthis Apple Store pagefor what look like the original 5 GB iPod ( you need to cut the photo that ’s actually of a third - gen model . ) And from everything we can tell , the FireWire , Mac - only machine is stigma new ( non - refurbished and bundled with a one - year warranty ) .

Part of me wants to place down $ 130 to order one , just to see if it come in its original boxful . But then another part of me remembers how apeshit I would have gone to own a 2009 version of the iPod “ from the future ” back in 2001 .

Update : Not quite . The original first generation Apple iPod 5 GB is really a 2nd generation 10 GB model . That ’s what our own private detective OMGPonies says , sing on the phone with Apple :

I ’m on the phone with the Apple Store now . The “ original ” ipod for sales agreement is really a second gen , 10 GB part number F8737LL / A. The F is a refurb appellation based on its old mannequin number : M8737LL / A.
