Small market
As Steve Jobs said, the basis of the iPod market was that it could be used while walking, jogging, and many other activities. It does not require specific attention. His arguement against a video player was that this would represent a much smaller market. Has he got dragged into this smaller (and unprofitable) market because competitors have conned consumers into feeling a need for it? If so, he will have to redefine the market.
