Lost in the excitement of the iPhone 5 announcement was the sad, final death of the original iPod, the device that sparked Apple's comeback. There was no mention of the iPod Classic, the last remnant of the music device that reinvented the market and drove Apple's meteoric rise in music, but the message was clear. At three different points in his presentation, Greg Joswiak, Vice President of Worldwide iPod, iPhone, and iOS Product Marketing, introduced Apple's fall lineup for iPod. Screen shots of each instance are included in this post, notably absent from each: the iPod Classic.
