That must be why the iPod, iPhone, and iPad are so unpopular.

The iPod was not the first music player. It quickly took over the market and has a dominating market share. Give the guys some credit for putting out a great product. Microsoft is so far in their rear view mirror they can't even see them.

iPhone, same thing, from nowhere to dominance.

The iPad was not the first tablet, just the one that revolutionized the field. Now every hardware manufacturer and their brother has a table out. Good luck with that.

Sales tell the story. You can't talk that away just because Steve Jobs is arrogant. Most business visionaries have been arrogant.

>Actually, it *is* different than Microsoft. Apple controls much more of the system. Hardware, OS, and is very strict on what gets approved for the app store and can kick you out for no reason at any time.
