I think everyone looks at this backwards. The iPod didnt change the world, the iPod changed Apple. The iPhone is the next evolution of the iPod. The question isnt whether Apple can release a revolution that changes how we use technology, the question is whether Apple can release a revolution that realigns Apple around that product.
And whether Apple wants to admit it or not, the iPod and iPhones success is in part due to them being cross platform devices that didnt require Macs.
