Apple's dominance is not actually about the quality or innovation, although they've got both going on. Rather, it's about the accuracy of their design. Apple nails what we always thought the future would look like.
I'm assuming you mean the ipod hegemony, and not the computer side of the business? Because I was about to lament the absence of dominance on the computer side, where its absence continues to baffle me. (I switched from Windows at the strong suggestion from friends, and when I did it was like having a permanent headache go away.)
Only on further thought, I'm not lamenting too much. If Apple did dominate the computer market, we'd probably have viruses and malware and crap too, and it's so nice not to have to fret too much about all of that.
Yeah. Ipod, and the whole iPhone thing (people sleeping outside the apple store here 2 days in advance of release), which I realize is now just what's done.
