Yeah but they weren’t very good. iPod was the first one with a high speed connection, hard drive, practical means of scrolling through hundreds of songs, desktop software for synchronization. It was a pretty huge improvement.
...but it was still an incremental step over what already existed. Apple's whole thing is to improve what already exists, and pretend like they invented it.
They didn’t pretend they invented the MP3 player. Steve Jobs slagged the existing ones when he announced the iPod. He just said they were badly designed and he was right.
