They did, but the ideas were not new nor innovative. They accomplished their goal through good marketing. That is not to say that is a bad thing. Taking something people won't buy and turning it to something this big is not something anyone can do. But they didn't create new technology. They didn't have good engineering that would put an established technology into some new use. Whatever they had, it was done before. They just made it look classy.
