Ease of use.
Anyone can just walk up and use one. I have had a few PDAs that never integrated well into my lifestyle as I was not willing to change my lifestyle for them. The iPod just works and does its job well. It is natural now that Apple has buy-in with the comfort crowd that they are expanding the feature set. I suspect you will see applets for iPods similar to the ones apple is bundling. But they will likely have to pass a heavy muster with the gods at Apple to allow a 3rd party the blessing to run on their device.
