Review Summary

As a stocking stuffer this festive season, the YP-T9B is a dream. With its head-turning good looks and outstanding performance, Santa had better lay in more stock.

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 thatÂ’s 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.

While it is not a drastic improvement over the older E-430, the E-440 offers more audio enhancements such as Dynamic Normalizer and Clear Audio Technology (consisting of Clear Stereo and Clear Bass). Overall, it's a solid player that pushes all the right buttons, but there's no outstanding feature.
