The Nomad was pretty much just a rebranded Samsung Yepp YP-D40.
It had 64MB of flash storage and a parallel port connector compared to the 5GB and Firewire 400 that the iPod had, the Nomad/Yepp YP-D40 was fairly decent compared to a lot of the crap that was out there, but it didn't deserve a premium price.
- sesqu 10y agoPerhaps you should compare the iPod to the Nomad Jukebox line from around the iPod's release, instead of the Nomad 1 from the 90's. Jukebox 1 had 6GB storage, USB 1.1, and came out nearly a year before iPod 1. Jukebox 2 came out the following year, had 30GB storage, and used USB 2.0.
- huxley 10y agoThe Nomad 1 came out in 1999 so it wasn't so very long before the iPod's 2001 release. But you're right, I did forget about the Jukebox and it was much more competitive.
