"I just don’t get the overwhelming appeal of the iPod, Apple’s MP3 player. It’s a beautiful device to be sure, but it does exactly what many, many other similar players do: It plays MP3s. Other brands are better, less expensive, have more capacity, are easier to use, and so on. But the iPod has something more than 85% market share. That’s incredible - that’s like finding that 85% of people in the country drive Toyota Camrys. It just doesn’t make sense." -USA Today

It’s a operating system to be sure, but it does exactly what many, many other similar operating systems do: It performs computer operations. Other brands are better, less expensive, have more capacity, are easier to use, and so on. But Windows has something more than 85% market share. That’s incredible - that’s like finding that 85% of people in the country drive Toyota Camrys. It just doesn’t make sense."

I loved it! But it fails on one problem: Unlike Windows, the iPod is actually a superior product, even if it costs more to get the same specs.
