| Bottom line | The
iPod Touch is the best iPod yet, offering all the fun of the iPhone experience without a carrier contract or monthly bill. | The sixth generation of the
iPod Nano is the smallest yet, but it comes at the expense of valuable features and practical controls. | The
iPod Classic refines the formula that put the iPod on the map. None can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life, and intuitive user interface. | The
iPod Shuffle's buttons are back, and the lightest, smallest MP3 player on the planet is now better than ever. |
