On the other hand I know what an iPod is, only ever heard of a Nomad through the quoted quote

There was a winner

Yes... a _company_ (Apple) won under a cohesive brand (iPod), but _that product which was being reviewed at the time_ did not. Nothing about what happened with later products retroactively changes whether the physical product that people had in their hands was good or not, or whether their review _of that specific product_ was fair.
The product at the time had iPod+iTunes+smaller form factor+faster charging+interface.

What part changed during the iPod era.
