I think the iPod may well triumph over it. After all, even though it may be technically far better than the iPod, people have started to refer to mp3 players as iPods (even if not from Apple), so the name iPod has passed into general usage.

It's a similar situation to the Walkman in the 80s. Sony's Walkman was not necessarily the best portable cassette player, but it beat the others due to the brand name.
