I had a Creative Nomad jukebox and it was so bad I went back to an MP3 discman (all the while laughing at the $500 iPod). I had never owned an Apple product. After trying a Mac I saw first-hand that Apples makes great products so I tried an iPod and loved it. Not because of marketing or advertising. People who claim that Apple is successful because of marketing – and think Apple's millions of customers are brainwashed – are the ones who are brainwashed.

I would agree with you sjs. If your product is crappy then marketing can't do anything. I tried lot of laptop but none of them worked like macbookpro. I have tried lot of phones but none of them worked like iPhone.
