The iPhone delivers on music and video quality, as both its listening and viewing experiences were great. On the downside, the included headphones could be better, and picture quality wasn't spectacular. As such, this round is a draw.

The iPod trapped inside the iPhone is one of the most advanced multimedia players in the world. Sound quality is excellent, and the ability to browse your music collection using Cover Flow puts the iPhone leaps ahead of anything on the market.

Many people have said that the iPhone is an iPod with a phone in it, and I have to agree. The iPod part of the iPhone is quite frankly the best iPod I've ever used--video quality is magnificent, and music quality is fantastic.

The Nokia N95 also performed quite well in this department. Music didn't sound quite as good as on the iPhone, but the picture quality was much better.

The Nokia performs better than many of the MP3 players that cross my desk. That said, it's a little noisy, and the track controls aren't very impressive. Video looks great, but the headphone jack location prevents you from propping it up for viewing long clips.

The video and music quality on the N95 is actually pretty good, but they don't really match up to those of the iPhone. Music sounded clean with a slight echo, and video looked good.
