Tony Fadell has been credited as the father of the iPod. In the late '90s, Fadell shopped around the concept of a hard disk-based music player to several companies, but it was only Apple that took the bait. Since then, it has gone from an over-priced MP3 player to a juggernaut that is bigger than the Macintosh. It should be noted that while Fadell came up with the business model, Jobs shaped the iPod, especially its ingenious interface.
