IPod Flea

The iPod Flea is the topic of a video clip parodising Apple's iPod advertising style. Scott Kelby (an Adobe Photoshop expert), Felix Nelson, Matt Kloskowski, and Dave Cross made the clip, David Pogue presented it in 2005 at a Mac Design Conference he was keynoting.

The object was presented as the next step of miniaturising, after iPod, iPod mini (it was before the iPod nano release) and iPod shuffle. The iPod Flea was an Ipod about the size of a Tictac, and if you wanted to buy a package of iPod Fleas they came in a redecorated Tictac box. The iPod Flea could only hold one song, and if you wanted it to hold more than one you would have to purchase a flea collar which held many iPod Fleas. Another concern discussed was battery life, if you wanted more power you would have to include an oversized power supply which defeats the purpose of the iPod Flea. This oversized battery was called the iPod Tic.
