Product name	Nintendo DSi	Sony Walkman NWZ-S545 (16GB)	Apple iPod touch (32GB; third generation)	Creative Zen X-Fi2 (8GB)
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8.3 Excellent	8 Excellent	9 Spectacular	7.6 Excellent
Review Summary	The Nintendo DSi is great if you're looking for a new handheld games console, but there's very little point buying one if you already own a DS Lite. It's merely mediocre as an audio player, its VGA cameras are poor and under-utilised, and its battery life is significantly lower than its predecessor's.	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.	The Creative Zen X-Fi2 delivers good all-round audio and video performance, let down only by the screen quality and slow interface.
