2002

The year 2002 saw the iPod getting upgraded to second generation, which came out in March. The internal capacity had been upgraded to 10 GB and the iPod could now store contacts on its memory apart from music. Apple also introduced the ability to engrave text on the back of the iPod, which came at an added cost of $49 over the $499 standard price (approx Rs. 24,000).

Later that year Apple also announced the availability of a 20 GB model, which also came with other additions such as a touch wheel and a flap for the FireWire port and a minor software upgrade that added additional options in the song categorization.

However, the iPod was still able to sync only with a Mac computer. But then later that year Apple made the iTunes available for the Windows platform and now Windows users could also sync the iPod with their computers. This made the iPod open to a much wider base of users and the iPod was no longer an exclusive toy for those with a Mac but now something that just about anyone with a computer could use.
