The Bottom Line	The amazingly low priced updated Apple iPod gets many under-the-hood improvements, but it's still not a true video player.	The iPod Classic is a refinement of the formula that put the iPod on the map. Few can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life, and advanced user interface.	No other MP3 player on the planet packs more features, from video to a pedometer, into a smaller package than the overachieving Apple iPod Nano.	Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch leaves its competitors in the dust.	No other MP3 player on the planet packs more features, from video to a pedometer, into a smaller package than the overachieving Apple iPod Nano.
