Period.
Misleading at best and an intentional lie at worst.
You can prove anything you want if you can get away with removing all the data which disproves what you wish to infer.
I owned a long series of chip players begining in 1998, but I left music only devices for phones with MP3 capacity in 2005. And why would I not? they have a lithium Ion battery that was superior to many of my previous devices, fit into my pocket, and I had to cary a phone for business purposes anyway. Many others have done the same.
If you claim that phone in my pocket is not an MP3 player (as Apple does) what is your basis for doing so? Pardon me for being direct, but you don't get to put that out there as a given, and if you wish to use it in debate you will have to ba able to succesfully defend it (good luck with that)
Spend some time in Asia. Do they have music players? Africa? South America? How many of them are made by Apple?
Hype is hype. It is a term regarded with disdain justifiably.

Yes, hype is hype, on this we agree.
Would love to see your data that shows which company does have global MP3 market share, if not Apple.
