Product name	Sony NW-A808 (8GB)	Sony Walkman NWZ-S545 (16GB)	Apple iPod touch (32GB; third generation)	Sony Walkman NWZ-S544 (8GB)
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8 Excellent	8 Excellent	9 Spectacular	8 Excellent
Review Summary	The Sony NW-A808 offers a fantastic display, a sleek design and interface, and a stellar battery life--plus, it's one of the few MP3 players that sound great right out of the box. Users looking for the whole package (sans radio) will be pleased.	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.
