Query: Why did Apple make the iPod?

The main reason Apple made the iPod is that the market in 2001 was fraught with terrible music players...most took hours to update and had very Windows like folder user interfaces.Everyone should also remember that none of the Windows Plays For Sure players (including the Sansa 270) will not play on Mac OS X. They all require you to move to the "open" Windows XP/WMP 10 system. I would love to have someone tell me why this is better than iPod/iTunes.I would consider other players if they integrate (not just mount as a hard disk) and allow me to buy (can't use any Windows Media Audio buying services) on my MacBook Pro without launching Windows XP.For the Mac user, Apple had to create iPod/iTunes to allow us to enjoy music and they accidentally created a huge market that loves industrial design and focus on user experience.Napster, Urge, Sony Connect, Yahoo Music - Not Mac OS X Compatible.Buy an iPod!
