Ah, your same old argument, that the general public are just as good at computers as the hardcore tech geeks. What on planet Earth has made you believe this to be true? Is your family all incredibly adept at using computers? Because throughout my whole life, in all my groups of family, friends, co-workers, I am so often asked for help with their computers on a daily basis, that I've come to understand very well what the majority do and don't understand with computers. Even the things that seem to ridiculously obvious to us can be so difficult to them, and so often do I come across a MacBook user who has nearly every single dock application open without having a clue what those little dots mean, undoubtedly running down their battery and resources.

FWIW, not that I disagree with your overall point, but your example is "unobvious" enough that when you "swipe to unlock" an iPhone/iPod touch the first time, Apple has to pop-up a screen that tells users how to do it.
Wonder if Apple will go the Windows Phone 7 Series route and just add Pandora to the regular media player app. Lets people listen to Pandora in the background without having to support true 3rd-party app multitasking.
I think everyone in these forums in pretty aware of that complaint.
But that's not what you said.

So they don't have a huge market share, but they are popular, profitable, and distinct.
Lets mix it up a little...
Not with Last FM they can't.
Not with Spotify they can't.
Not with *insert any non-iPod music app or radio app here* they can't.
