Other than the size aspect they don't really replicate the UX experience of a tiny device with dedicated media buttons. Specialized devices used for specialized purposes will always perform better than general devices.

How so? We gave our daughter ours, but the dependence on iTunes sucks.

There are ways around using iTunes (at least for older devices). Google it.

Specifically, foobar2000 works pretty well with the iPod manager plugin. The device support is limited.
