Pod line came from Apples digital hub category, when the company began creating software for the growing market of personal digital devices. Digital cameras, camcorders and organizers had well established mainstream markets, but the company found existing digital music players big and clunky or small and useless with user interfaces that were unbelievably awful,1. Apple decided to develop its own. As ordered by CEO Steve Jobs, Apples hardware engineering chief Jon Rubinstein assembled a team of engineers to design the i. Pod line, including hardware engineers Tony Fadell and Michael Dhuey,1. Sir Jonathan Ive. Rubinstein had already discovered the Toshiba hard disk drive while meeting with an Apple supplier in Japan, and purchased the rights to it for Apple, and had also already worked out how the screen, battery, and other key elements would work. The aesthetic was inspired by the 1. Braun T3 transistor radio designed by Dieter Rams, while the wheel based user interface was prompted by Bang Olufsens Beo. Com 6. 00. 0 telephone. The product the Walkman of the twenty first century 1. October 2. 3, 2. 00. Jobs announced it as a Mac compatible product with a 5 GB hard drive that put 1,0. Apple did not develop the i. Pod software entirely in house, instead using Portal. Players reference platform based on two ARM cores. The platform had rudimentary software running on a commercial microkernel embedded operating system. Portal. Player had previously been working on an IBM branded MP3 player with Bluetooth headphones. Apple contracted another company, Pixo, to help design and implement the user interface under the direct supervision of Steve Jobs. As development progressed, Apple continued to refine the softwares look and feel. Starting with the i. Pod Mini, the Chicago font was replaced with Espy Sans. Later i. Pods switched fonts again to Podium Sansa font similar to Apples corporate font, Myriad. Color display i. Pods then adopted some Mac OS X themes like Aqua progress bars, and brushed metal meant to evoke a combination lock. In 2. 00. 7, Apple modified the i. Pod interface again with the introduction of the sixth generation i. Pod Classic and third generation i. Pod Nano by changing the font to Helvetica and, in most cases, splitting the screen in half by displaying the menus on the left and album artwork, photos, or videos on the right whichever was appropriate for the selected item. In 2. 00. 6 Apple presented a special edition for i. Pod 5. G of Irish rock band U2. Like its predecessor, this i. Pod has engraved the signatures of the four members of the band on its back, but this one was the first time the company changed the colour of the metal not silver but black. This i.

Kane Kramer applied for a UK patent for his design of a plastic music box in 1. IXI. 2. 0 He was unable to secure funding to renew the US1. Kramer never profited from his idea. The name i. Pod was proposed by Vinnie Chieco, a freelance copywriter, who with others was called by Apple to figure out how to introduce the new player to the public. After Chieco saw a prototype, he thought of the movie 2. A Space Odyssey and the phrase Open the pod bay door, Hal, which refers to the white EVA Pods of the Discovery One spaceship. Chieco saw an analogy to the relationship between the spaceship and the smaller independent pods in the relationship between a personal computer and the music player.

I need subtitles to understand the films due to hearing loss. However, when I turn on the subtitles and watch the film, I tend to always get stuck at the last frame of the movie prior to the ad interruption. The ad doesnt play, but the countdown of the ad shows and works in the bottom left. But the screen freezes on the last frame of the movie as it is going into ad mode. I reset the i. Phone and I reset the app, I cleared my cache and RAM and all, still cant get the subtitles to resume working again after these little freezes. The movie will resume playing but the subtitles lose their track and wont come back on after the ad frame freeze. Its sad because they have great movies but what use are the movies or the app if I cant even get the subtitles to stay functional App lt Contentby. The. Real. SProject. This app is completely outdated and is in dire need of an upgrade. IT DOES NOT auto play the next episode of the series that you are currently watching. However it will play an entirely new show that you have not seen much like russian roulette. DO NOT rely on the app to remember where you left off on a show had to drop three shows because I am too lazy to figure out where I left off at. The only reason I gave it an extra star is due to its content. IT DOES OFFER great content and newish faces which is a breath of fresh air tired of seeing the same A list Hollywood faces over and over again. Theyre definitely moving in the right direction just need to update their app and make the UI easier to use. Misleading Reviewsby. Mid. Chris. I downloaded this app, despite all the awful reviews, and I sure am glad that I did Idk what all those reviewers were complaining about. The commercials are shorter than network television and seem diverse. I have never seen the same one more than once during a break. It saves where I am during the episodes and hasnt frozen or crashed once. Those people are crazy, this app is fantastic to me.
