Perhaps the biggest reason the iPhone has garnered such a freakish amount of attention is the overwhelming success of its music-playing predecessor, the iPod. While video, calling and Web browsing are important, the iPhone wouldn't be here today if not for the music. So what about it? How's the music experience of the iPhone?
