Apple has made hundreds of millions of dollars from a product people wanted, and it somehow does not reflect my point?
so clearly what you said and what OP said are different, OP claims ipod success is due to cd-players failures (batteries etc).
I am the OP. The iPod was a success because it was the digital music player people wanted. No more, no less. It evolved into a computing device that changed the way we communicate.
