Nope. If products with really good design, better/more features, and just as nice if not nicer price point aren't taking down the iPod (and those products are out there), then nothing short of Apple releasing a buggy and poorly designed product will knock them down. I mean, many people even call non-iPods iPods, just as people did the same to Xerox, Sony Walkmans, and (still do) with Coke.
Better product does not necessarily equal successful product! Cachet is very important, especially in trendy personal electronics.
DS is a game machine and iPod is a music machine. I don't think adding features to one will turn it into the other in people's minds. Many people listen to music but don't game, for starters...

Except Apple's arrogance and the general short term memory of the American/American "wannabe" public.
