The general public don't care about features - they go for brand, design and simplicity.
The iPod's competitors have generally always had more features - FM radio, more supported codecs, more storage, lower price. But just look:

I'm really torn about the iPhone. I'd really like one, but the 18 month contract is putting me off, especially as the phone is unsubsidised. I guess that's o2's compromise for giving Apple such a huge share of the monthly revenue. Hopefully if they do launch a new iPhone next year, there will be an upgrade path for people still stuck in the initial contract term.
