Product name	Apple iPod classic (120GB; second generation)	Sony Walkman NWZ-S545 (16GB)	Creative Zen X-Fi2 (8GB)	Apple iPod touch (32GB; third generation)
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	9.1 Spectacular	8 Excellent	7.6 Excellent	9 Spectacular
Review Summary	120GB of storage and the addition of the Genius feature make up for the slightly reduced battery life over the previous model, reaffirming the iPod classic as our favorite portable audio player on record.	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.
