"We've learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone," Colligan said. "PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in." Apple exploded into the digital music market in December of 2001 with the debut of its first-generation iPod, and has since worked to establish and maintain its dominance in the market. Apple still retains its leadership over the digital music industry, reporting the shipment of more than 8,792,000 iPods during its previous quarter.
