"His breakout success back in 2001 was the iPod, Apple's revolutionary digital media player"
Nothing revolutionary about it, there were (better) MP3 players long before then.
Were there? Such as what? I had a Diamond Rio mp3 player that held 64mb of songs, 2 albums at crap quality, AA batteries, a parallel port interface and fiddly UI. Then the iPod came long with 5GB, firewire, rechargeable battery and the scroll wheel control, it was streets ahead of anything else I saw before 2001.
