when people talk about innovation. Steve jobs was
without doubt a great innovator, but he was not
the first person to bring any one of the individual
elements that make up an iPod to the table.

The key factor that makes the Apple iPod
such an innovative idea is not that it was the
first to invent any of these features. Apple
innovated by being the first to come up with
the concept of bringing all these aspects
together in a single device that combined
ease of use, ergonomics and design, revo-
lutionising the entre music industry in the
process.
The concept of portable music was certain-
ly not created by Apple. For more than two
decades previously, Sony had dominated
the market with the Walkman. The MP3
player predated the iPod in terms of putting
hundreds of songs in one place, and Apple
was actually one of the later technology
companies to create a platform for sharing
music online. So, what makes the iPod so
innovative?
