In your zeal to denigrate Apple you've missed the point, or perhaps you thought you were posting about Microsoft?
The iPod's success was down to the whole package, excellent product design, good (but not excellent) performance and iTunes.
Ditto the iPhone, a well designed, brilliantly conceived package together with the App Store. The whole thing, all of it, "just worked".
Saying the iPad is just a big iPhone is juvenile and speaks volumes about your analytical abilities. Apple created a successful tablet when others who had tried had not. Oh, and there was no tablet trend before the iPad, Apple created that market too.
