Editor's Notes
Creative NOMAD Jukebox In 2000, Creative released the 6GB hard drive based Creative NOMAD Jukebox. The name borrowed the jukebox metaphor popularised by Remote Solution, also used by Archos. Later players in the Creative NOMAD range used microdrives rather than laptop drives. Cowon iAUDIO CW100 In October 2000, South Korean software company Cowon Systems released their first MP3 player, the CW100, under the brand name iAUDIO. Ironically, Cowon would later be accused for 'stealing' the 'i-prefix' from Apple, despite the iAUDIO brand being launched one year prior to the first iPod model and aimed exclusively at the Korean market. Archos Jukebox In December 2000, some months after the Creative's NOMAD Jukebox, Archos released his Jukebox 6000 with a 6GB hard drive too.
