These kinds of lists are always going to cause debate of what should or shouldn't be included. It looks more like a list of products that made a particular product category popular rather than the first to introduce a particular technology. I guess the fun is in the resulting debate?
Yes, it's all about popularity, it's not about innovation...
If else, why Playstation 2 (2!!!!!) and not Intellivision?
Why iPod (whose innovation was only in the DRM) and not Rio?

But most of all, why poliphonic ringtones and not the cellphone itself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's all about what's "cool".
And without a Apple eInk reader in the markety, the "coolest" is the Kindle.
