Product name	Apple iPod nano (4GB; second generation)	Sony Walkman NWZ-S545 (16GB)	Apple iPod touch (32GB; third generation)	Sony Walkman NWZ-S544 (8GB)
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8.3 Excellent	8 Excellent	9 Spectacular	8 Excellent
Review Summary	The second-generation Apple iPod nano is like the successful offspring of an iPod mini and a first-generation iPod nano. It's small, stylish, user-friendly, and competitively priced--a great player all around and suitable for a variety of users.	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.
