I agree that it should be on the list. I don't agree that it should be #2. Apple simply created the fad that was iPod and created a device that allowed it to be popular.

Apple definitely deserves credit for it, but the iPod wasn't in itself revolutionary. I would say it was merely an evolutionary step that was essentially invevitable, and Apple just made it happen.
