ephPod was initially developed by Joe Masters in January of 2002, in an effort to get the Macintosh-only iPod working with Windows. The original version of ephPod copied files and edited the iTunesDB file on the iPod, and did not have an HFS+ file system driver included. This meant that EphPod needed to be used in conjunction with an HFS+ file system driver for Windows, either MacOpener or MacDrive. Masters partnered with DataViz to give ephPod users a discount on MacOpener. A white fifth-generation iPod with a case and earphones. ... A white fifth-generation iPod with a case and earphones. ...
ephPod continued to be developed, with bi-weekly or monthly updates, through mid-2003. At that point, Masters was out of college and had less time to devote to the development.
