Let's agree to disagree.

There is no disagreement, mate You're wrong. Pure and simple. You just don't want to accept it. It may have sold the most, but then surely that means that the Toyota Corolla revolutionised the car market as it's the highest selling car of all time?
No it's not

The corolla hasn't changed the way petrol is sold and doesn't control 70% of the petrol (well all fuels) Market.

iTunes changed the way music was sold, iPods didn't......

ok fair point. iPods changed the way 300m people listen to there music

So we're going by market share now So you lot with Mac's are wrong because PC owns a vast majority of the market? Seriously, give it up now. It did not revolutionise portable music. It improved the idea.
ok so if dominating hardware and music sales doesn't count as revolutionising a product. What does.?

How is it dominating hardware when Walkman's sold more? The iPod didn't do fuckall for music sales either?

It didn't. MP3 players were out before the iPod.

Agreed. Mp3 changed the way music was listened too, iPod changed the way we listen to music

Naa, does the same job as a walkman from that perspective.

It was the digital music that caused the revolution, not what it was played on.

I disagree. The way Walkman dominated cassettes, I.e. Listening to your Walkman mate? When they had a generic casette player, iPod has done the same. If you show lots of people an mp3 player and what it does, they'll call it an iPod.

They weren't. It took around 4 years to sell 10m and they used to be FireWire only so not much use to lots of pcs

Again marketing. Same with Cola; everyone calls it Coke even though that's a Coca-Cola trademark.

the first mp3 player i remember is an ipod, then people copied but before that they werent mainstream.
the first smartphone i remember is the iphone, then others copied.
the first tablet i remember i sthe ipad, then others copied.
it could be quite easily said that eventually someone else would have brought out all of these products, but the apple product has always set the benchmark

That's your lack of knowledge/memory more than anything Lee.

First MP3 players had 8 and 16mb.
