Nope, Jobs simply launched the ipod and marketed the shit out of it; warts and all. Funnily enough Apple still do that today, long after the great man has departed. Think about it; if you're an Apple user, you know what I'm talking about.

I'm fairly sure 2 out of their last 3 phones got massive recalls; remember the laptop that gave you 3rd degree burns if you used it on your lap? Or what about the phone that didn't make calls if you held the metal bit around the edge?

However they still had queues round the block, from sheep wanting the latest of their unfinished, untested products. Why?

Because marketing.

Simples.
