I loved the iPod. I think Apple still has the capability today to really take advantage of the core UX concepts from that generation. The closest thing we have now I would argue is the Apple TV remote. I think the touchpad is a bit clunkier compared to the iPod, but it is impressive how Apple was able to integrate the same smooth scrolling capabilities into a low cost product.

If the AR/VR headset ever becomes a reality, I think we could see a revival of this technology embedded in some sort of handheld controller.
