| 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 Touch is the best iPod yet, offering all the fun of the iPhone experience without a carrier contract or monthly bill. | 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. | 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. |
