You mean 10-20% of Apple customers were exposed to personal interactions with Steve Jobs? I'm not sure on that.

Example: Apple had almost spent nothing on adverts or anything in India until a year (or two) ago. And yet the iPod was super duper popular. (Other products not as much as for the average Indian the price of the product + 30% tax by the govt. on the import puts them out of reach.)

Sorry, I disagree. Any stats on that?

I don't sit on archives of data but if I Google something on those lines the top result is http://www.wired.com/gadgets/mac/news/2006/08/71639. Indirect measure of the popularity of the iPod in India.
