Review Summary	This slim offering from Apple may be limited in terms of features; however, for looks alone, it currently has few equals.	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.	Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.	The Creative Zen X-Fi2 delivers good all-round audio and video performance, let down only by the screen quality and slow interface.
