I had a Diamond Rio, and it's was way better than any Apple product. One week with a single AAA battery for 4h by days at least.

Way better if your music collection consisted of 12 songs.

iPod made a thousand songs in your pocket a reality.

Even if it's not a lot of mp3, I was able to change the mp3 without buying something and this at that time was a revolution. Even if it was not perfect, they made the revolution Apple did nothing.

Technically speaking, Creative Labs did that. You just needed a slightly larger pocket :-)
