Few realize the iPod succeeded because Apple optimized a widely explored idea space with a vertically integrated compute stack and, despite the iPod being far from perfect, it addressed mp3 player pain *system* pain points. And the Zune failed because it was randomly different.

iPod was also developed in less 10 months. As close to ship it as it gets in hardware. https://x.com/tfadell/status/1180660650365902849
