In round 2, we focus on the players' size and design, as well as any additional pimp-factor that makes the user feel extra cool. Is the Archos 605 WiFi too big to be sexy? Is the iPod Touch just a shadow of the iPhone's glory?

Archos 605 WiFi |
3 If there were halfsies here, it'd be a 3.5. It's pretty sleek and nice to look at--well-constructed, and all that--but larger than I prefer...especially next to the Touch. |
4 People rail on the Archos for being boxy, but from my perspective, the 605 has a very stylish, industrial quality that lends it a James Bond megagadget feel. It might not be sexy, but it's definitely pimp. |
3 Sorry, Archos, but you're just not doing it for me in terms of sexiness. The Archos is bulky and clunky, and its graphics are not attractive at all. |

Apple iPod Touch |
5 I'm not saying I'm attracted to gadgets, but if I were, the Touch would be the David Beckham of media players. Meow! |
4 There's no denying that Apple has made a sexy product here, but it still feels like an anorexic iPhone. The edges are also a little sharp, and the included plastic kickstand is a joke. |
5 Call me an Apple fangirl, but the iPod Touch just wins hands down when it comes to look and feel. Its sleek wide-screen display just makes watching video a dream. |
