The click wheel interface was pretty innovative at the time. I remember that my brother had one from Dell at the same time I got my first iPod classic. Hands down, it was easier to navigate the iPod. The other difference was the quality of the components. Audiophiles would use the iPod along with the FLAC codec to store their digital collections because of the quality if the DAC.
As for apple products being overpriced, I'm sure there are a lot of people that feel that way. I don't happen to be one of them. I also think that other companies have quality products e.g. Lenovo, but you end up spending a similar amount because you have to get the higher end product.
