Yes, we actually ranked every iPod.
We're all wrong, but we can all agree that @siracusa is the most wrong.

I am so angry.
Like irrationally so.
You missed the iPod Mini 2nd Gen
The HP iPods.
Also I do love the gum pack iPod shuffle! They made no sense but they are fun.
John Siracusa@_mball_ The mini 2nd gen is in there.
@siracusa I thought you went from mini to 1st gen to nano.
Though the mini 2nd gen wasn’t very different. And there’s some weird half gens like 5.5.
What’s truly weird looking back is just how short lived some of the models were. You had stuff being entirely discontied within less than a year. Don’t think Tim Cook would do that today!
joshhunt@_mball_ the 2nd gen mini got a 16 second passing mention. Look at the chapters 🤣
@atpfm
Finally finished — I think you recovered by the end but I am a bit sad the Mini got dropped off. I never owned one but as an early teen when it came out, I think you missed just how big a deal it was.
IMO: 5th gen / video is my favorite overall, but the Mini was a “real” iPod priced for most people and the nano came and upped the cool. But the Mini and Nano were always more interesting to kids than the bigger ones.
But then the iPhone came and stole all the interest.
