| The Bottom Line | Get the affordable, sleek, and sexy 5G Apple iPod for its audio virtues. Although video looks great, poor video battery life and a relatively small screen hamper its appeal to video heads. | The iPod Touch is the best iPod yet, offering all the fun of the iPhone experience without a carrier contract or monthly bill. | The Zune HD delivers one of the best portable music and video experiences money can buy. At a time when many people have shifted their focus to games and applications, providing a killer media experience may not be enough for potential Zune buyers. | ||
