TechOnLine has a paper by David Carey, presented at the Embedded Systems Conference 2005 discussing the design and evolution of the iPod.
While the paper does not cover the iPod Nano and the latest generation iPod Photo, it nevertheless is interesting. Key insights: how to use commodity parts and clever engineering to build a product that stands out from the competition.
Typo alert, it's not techNOline.com!
