But the only thing Apple had over those other music players was marketing.

That's rich. At the very least they had the first consumer touchscreen smartphone.

Technically that was the LG Prada a few months before the iPhone. The iPhone was the first multitouch smartphone however.

That was a luxury luxury phone and the reason I wrote "consumer". but now I realize luxury things are also consumer goods-

The first iPhone was something like $600 vs the Prada at $750 or something. Both were certainly “luxury”. Especially compared to say my BlackBerry Pearl I had around that time which was around $200.
