The 2nd generation of the iPod was announced on July 17th, 2002. The 2nd generation of iPod used a similar design as the original and first iPod, but the top of the iPod was redesigned. Apple changed the hold switch, added a cover to the FireWire port and the mechanical scrolling wheel was replaced by a touch-sensitive clickwheel. The 2nd generation iPod was sold in two capacities, 10GB and 20GB. The two storage sizes were priced at US$399 and US$499, respectively.
The 2nd generation iPod featured a Windows-version so you could use the device on the Microsoft Windows operating system. These Windows-compatible editions came bundled with a 4 to 6-pin FireWire adapter. With the device, came a bundled copy of MusicMatch Jukebox for at this time iTunes was not available for Windows yet.[citation needed]
Much like its predecessor, the iPod (1st generation), the 2nd generation iPod suffered from its one and only interface — FireWire 400 for charging and syncing with no compatability for USB at all.
In December 2002, Apple unveiled it’s very first limited edition iPod. You could get an iPod with a signature from either Madonna, Tony Hawk or Beck. An engraving of No Doubt’s band logo was also available on the rear housing for an additional USD$50 charge.[citation needed]
