Product name	Archos 404 (30GB)	Sony Walkman NWZ-S545 (16GB)	Creative Zen X-Fi2 (8GB)	Apple iPod touch (32GB; third generation)
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8 Excellent	8 Excellent	7.6 Excellent	9 Spectacular
Review Summary	The attractively priced Archos 404 is a PVP in an MP3 player's body. If you want a better screen and a removable battery, spend a bit more for the wider 604.	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.	The Creative Zen X-Fi2 delivers good all-round audio and video performance, let down only by the screen quality and slow interface.	Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.
