Review Summary |
120GB of storage and the addition of the Genius feature make up for the slightly reduced battery life over the previous model, reaffirming the iPod classic as our favorite portable audio player on record. |
The fourth-generation iPod nano is easy on the eyes and the wallet, and you can't beat its hardware and user interface design. Just be sure to give iTunes 8 a spin before committing. |
The second-generation iPod touch includes features that are light-years ahead of the competition, its design has improved, and its price has finally come down to earth. |
The third-generation iPod shuffle is the next best thing to an invisible MP3 player, but the quirky controls and microscopic design make it a limited recommendation. |
