Of course these devices existed but every time Apple raised the bar. MP3 players existed before Ipod but with limited storage. The first Ipod was really usable with its HDD. Smartphone were a thing but touch interface is what made the Iphone something unique. Let see if Apple is really bringing something new here, the jury is still out.

Famously, the original iPod had "less space than a Nomad".

The Nomad was the size of a CD player… The ipod was fitting in a pocket.

The Nomad also had an absurdly slow UI.

Having had one, that Nomad was absolutely terrible, space or no. It was cheap though.
