Product name	Samsung S3 Slim (2GB)	Sony Walkman NWZ-S545 (16GB)	Apple iPod touch (32GB; third generation)	Sony Walkman NWZ-E443 (4GB)
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7 Very good	8 Excellent	9 Spectacular	7.5 Excellent
Review Summary	The Samsung S3 Slim MP3 player is a solid option for budget-minded users with an eye for design and an ear for audio.	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.	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.
