The iPod Changed Computing Forever. Now It Will Disappear

Part of the iPod reinventing computing is that the iPod itself will disappear into those new computers, which is what we’re about to see. First, “iPod” became an app on the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad. On Tuesday, Apple’s new CEO Tim Cook will reportedly unveil new iPhones and iPod Touches running iOS 5 linked to iCloud storage accounts (5GB for free, more for $) — and could phase out the iPod Classic entirely, as well as the word “iPod” itself.
