| Bottom line | The latest iPod Touch is the best iPod ever, and as close to a phoneless
iPhone 5 as you can get -- but its high price makes it a tough call versus cheaper tablets with larger screens. | The
iPod Classic refines the formula that put the iPod on the map. None can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life, and intuitive user interface. | The Walkman Z is Sony's iPod Touch for
Android-loving audiophiles. |
