I think that the iPod, while maybe not taking over the world, is definitely dominating market segments. There weren't really all that many people wearing headphones while snowboarding or skiing at Whistler, but of those that were, ALL, 100%, every single one, was wearing the signature iPod white earbuds. Every one. And not a single one of them had replaced the earbuds with an acoustically superior option, which leads me to believe that advertising one's iPod is part of the point of owning an iPod.
As a side note, I love my iPod, but it'll be a while before I'm confident enough riding my snowboard that I can afford to be distracted by something like Katie Webster's Pussycat Moan
