Question: how to put “1000 songs in your pockets”? The answer is simple - get these ubiquitous iPods because they can store countless songs within a few seconds. Today, they have become our causal portable media players which also featured with many incredulous functions. They are so tiny and light and that have made us feasible to carry them around.
Better would be to say get an iPod, not get these iPods. (One person is likely to buy only one or two and certainly not the whole lot of them.)

What do you mean by "sensitive wheels"? (Assume your reader hasn't seen and iPod and that you are introducing it to him.)

Why can't you say introduced instead of primarily introduced?

A price can't be expensive, but it can be high or low.
