Product name	Apple iPod U2 Special Edition (20GB; color)	Sony Walkman NWZ-S545 (16GB)	Monster Turbine	Apple iPod touch (32GB; third generation)
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	CNET Asia editor's take	8 Excellent	8 Excellent	9 Spectacular
Review Summary	More info	On paper, the S-540 series looks almost similar to the E-440 series, albeit with a larger screen and a pair of speakers built into the back. We were impressed by how much volume the two tiny speakers could throw out, and thats what makes the S-540 unique in its own way.	Monster's Turbine in-ear headphones looks, feels, and sounds like a much more expensive model.	Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.
