iPodlounge has covered the iPod since its quiet release in 2001. Three years ago, when I founded iPodlounge, I never could have imagined how huge our community would become," said Lloyd. I knew a great thing back then when I saw it, and even when there used to be naysayers and competitors, I dedicated the site and my time to only the iPod platform. Thats why iPodlounge today remains Googles number one-ranked independent iPod site."
