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 Photo is a beautiful and versatile device with a new, affordable price. The 30GB version is a particularly good value at only $50 more than the audio-only 20GB version. The Zune has blossomed from an ugly duckling into a worthy iPod alternative. The amazingly low priced updated Apple iPod gets many under-the-hood improvements, but it's still not a true video player.
