I still maintain the theory that iTunes for Windows enabled the explosive sales of the iPod and, by extension, the funds and momentum to develop the iPhone.

So continuing with that logic, Fiorina can claim that the iPhone was the result of her deal with Apple.

Wasn't this by design. They always wanted the ipod to be cross platform. The ipod then became advertisement for Apple's laptops and pc's. I'd argue ipod/itunes drove mac sells and by the time the iphone came around Apple was respected by consumers as a legitimate consumer electronics company.

I know I read or heard this from an apple source but I can't remember where.
