The iPod. By specs, no, but by interface and by usability, very yes. (Also I think they were among the first to include headphones that weren't complete junk?)

The iPhone. I use an Android phone, but...I'm not gonna front on this one. At least for a while, and there is an argument that this continues to today, nobody was touching the iPhone.

The iPad. Android tablets, to this day, are really kinda lousy (source: the stack of them sitting on my desk, unpowered) with poor application support. Windows tablets are okay, but they're a different market; iPad competitors, the Surface RT line, plunked without a trace.

iPod had better specs when it came out if you look at battery life, transfer speed, and charge speed. Turns out if you get those right people don't care as much about WiFi and FM radio.
