None of these were revolutionary.
The iPod single handedly took over the MP3 player market. There was nothing like it. The Zune was worthy, but the iPod was first.
Now tell me what there was before the iPhone? Windows pocket edition? Some crap with Palm OS? Or some horrendous Symbian phone?
No, the iPhone set the standard for smartphones, end of story. Sure, others are doing it better--NOW. The Nexus line is the top shelf for me. But the iPhone was a nuclear bomb.
And then they said the iPad was a large iPhone. Guess what: it was, and it defined YET ANOTHER segement that finds Samsung, Microsoft, etc all jumping in -- AFTER the iPad made it viable.
You may not like them, but give credit where credit is due. Also note, all of this was Steve Jobs's doing. Now that he's gone, I think you can stick a fork in Apple.

They took other ideas and made them better and marketed the hell out of them - they didn't come up the ideas, therefore were not "innovators". I was using a windows tablet to run all of the electronics in my house way before the ipad was ever talked about.
