Innovative
When the iPod came out it s was very innovative. Yes there were MP3 players, but they all had poorly designed controls and lacked storage space. Then the iPod comes along, its scroll wheel made it super easy to scroll through music fast (the later click wheel made it even better), and the hard drive made it hold vast amount of songs in comparison to others. (yes you can argue somebody else would have come up with the hd setup is Apple didnt, but thats not what happened).

What the iPod accells out (and most other players up until recently failed at) is making the user experience enjoyable. The iPod is simple, easy to use, and does it job very well. And while some people complain that they are fragile, I have been beating on my iPod Mini since I bought it and its still going strong. It has been dropped, tossed around, and used just about every day.
