dec 31, 2004 - 2004, however, was a turning
point for Apple. After creating
a sizable financial base to work
with, the company began
experimenting with new parts
from new suppliers. As a result,
Apple was able to produce new
designs quickly over a short
amount of time, with the
release of the iPod Video, then
the iPod Classic, and eventually
the iPod touch and iPhone.
