Have to disagree with you about people buying iPods because they are 'better than the cheaper ones'.
iPods were successful because of a massive advertising campaign that no other mp3 player had seen the likes of. People bought it because it was cool and fashionable and they either couldn't be bothered to shop around or didn't know how to. You ask most people who own an iPod if they looked into other mp3 players before hand and they'll say no. They bought it because of the power of advertising, not because they thought it was superior to other mp3 players.
But now due to the money raised by their market dominance, its arguable that currently they are the best mp3s, even if they weren't originally. The power of propaganda...
Is it normal apple is trying to monopilize the world?

I don't think they are the best, even now. Personal opinion I suppose.
