Yes, we know that Steve Jobs revolutionized The Personal Computer, Digital Media Players, Animated Movies, Smart Phones, and Tablet computers. He legitimized the online music market, created a marketplace for digital applications and re-imagined the retail store experience... we lived through this.
What I took for granted was the fact that these revolutions happened only because of Steve’s unwavering desire to create a truly amazing product. Yes, the Ipod is amazing. But it is even more amazing when you consider that Sony already sold an mp3 player, and they already had the rights to every artist in their music division. Furthermore, they had billions of dollars to research and develop anything they wanted. How could Sony, with all their money, all their power, and all their connections possibly lose this contest? They didn’t have Steve jobs.
