I'm getting a little tired of everyone attributing the scroll wheel to Apple's iPod, when it was clearly being used by mini-disk players years before the first iPod came out, in 2001. Apple chose the scroll wheel design because it offered (in their eyes) the best design in a simplistic UI control. They only later added the 4-way directional controls (play/pause, FF/rewind, etc.) in a later generation iPod, when that feature was already in use years before. By no means did Apple invent the scroll wheel design for the iPod, they borrowed it from others (see, I didn't say "ripped off").

The white colour is the only thing that reminds me of the iPod.....the design of the SOAP reminds me more of the Trekstor Vibez than of a iPod....
