'Two years of iPod' @ nytimes.com

(free registration required to read the full article...) - Called "The Guts of a New Machine", the article talks about the success, the chances and risks of the iPod. Rob Walker talks nicely about our favourite digital music player. A quote:
It is, in short, an icon. A handful of familiar cliches have made the rounds to explain this -- it's about ease of use, it's about Apple's great sense of design. But what does that really mean? ''Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like,'' says Steve Jobs, Apple's C.E.O. ''People think it's this veneer -- that the designers are handed this box and told, 'Make it look good!' That's not what we think design is. It's not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.''
