How does this work?

“The year's best portable music player, is, you guessed it, Apple's ubiquitous iPod. For both Mac and Windows PC users, it leads the field on account of stunning design, simplicity of use, superb performance and overall value for money.”

Then the paragraph two down from the above starts:

“For value for money, the clear winner is the Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra.”

What the job of editors again? All I'm asking for is to choose one and stick with it. This isn’t as bad as that Garfield guy but still bad.

What they're saying is that if the category were to be judged on value for money alone, the Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra would have won clearly. As the category was judged on more criteria than simply value for money (i.e. ease of use, integration with software etc), the iPod came out top overall.
