Exactly. I bought a Diamond Rio when it first came out, but it was early. It was difficult to explain to non-techies.
Apple figured out how to tap into the early adopters and make them influencers to bring in the early majority. Part of this was making it easier for people to be able to get music on to the thing. iTunes had just come out shortly before the iPod and started hitting its stride in tandem with the device.
