Apple iPod Touch
Simply the best portable music player money can buy, the iPod Touch supports virtually every music service under the sun. It also offers wireless streams over Bluetooth or AirPlay and downloads music directly from the world's most popular music store, iTunes.
The good: Apple's iPod Touch comes with a new color, a new price, and feature-packed OS. It records HD video, chats over video or iMessages, checks your e-mail, keeps your appointments, connects to the cloud, rents movies, plays music, takes pictures, and plays more games than any of its competitors.
The bad: Photo quality doesn't hold up to the iPhone 4's; there's no GPS, and no option for 3G data service.
The 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.
