This crazy British dude had the foresight to create and patent the ideas behind the iPod back in 1979! And he got a free iPod!!
In 1979 Kramer filed patents for his newly conceived Digital Audio Player, the IXI. The player was the size of a credit card with a small LCD screen and navigation and volume buttons and would have held data on a solid state memory chip with a capacity of 3:50 minutes worth of audio. 5 working prototypes were produced and one was unveiled in a trade exhibition in October 1986.
