I have selected two primary sources, which are the following: IPod Speaker, and Wireless Keyboard.
My IPod Speaker is a Ipod compatible portable speaker that is white, and where the sound is delivered is grey colored. I has a port where any Ipod kind can be connected to. It has volume button and a power button.
My Wireless Keyboard, obviously, do not require any lines connected to the computer. It is white, with black letters on each button. Shortcut buttons are located on the top of the keyboard, which is silver, and they are buttons for purposes such as raising or lowering volumes, fast forwarding, booting the computer, sleeping the computer, and turning on the internet explorer.
What I like about the Ipod Speaker are that it can be used as a speaker for other sources of music, other than Ipod, and that it can be folded up that it takes very little space.
The wireless keyboard provides eleven useful shortcut buttons, and not having to connect lines to the computer makes this particular keyboard very appealing.
These two objects are fit for primary sources because they contain many details. Aside from what I wrote above, they both contain many other details, such as AC lines, small stand used to rest arms, and so forth.

At first glance the iPod as a cultural object for analysis seems rather limited. Although it does have a number of interesting features, remember that you'll have to make an arguable claim in your paper about that object.
With that said, there's a good deal of scholarship out there about Decorative Arts and Design. You might want to browse similar scholarship in the library to see if you can imagine performing a similar, vigorous analysis of the ipod. Try searching in the catalog under: Design History 20th Century for starters.
Thank you Ms. Bates.
What I have described here actually is a portable speaker for Ipod. Is it okay if I combine the speaker and Ipod together to make one primary source?
Thank you~
I also thought about using the Ipod and its cultural impact as a primary source. But I couldn't really find an actually primary source other than the ipod itself. I think you might be able to get something if you combine the ipod and the speaker together.
