with the iPod it was more iTunes then the device itself. Napster showed the regular joe the beauty of the world of digital downloading music. When napster went down, iTunes came in to filll a void so to speak. it was pure timing and maybe a bit of luck.
If napster doesn't come down, no iTunes, no iTunes then I don't even know if Apple would be around today.
