| Bottom line | The sixth generation of the
iPod Nano is the smallest yet, but it comes at the expense of valuable features and practical controls. | SanDisk's tongue-twister of an MP3 player is a stupefying value and its practical clip-on design is perfect for the gym. | The SanDisk Sansa Clip+ is an excellent successor to the line, offering a fitness-friendly design with a built-in belt-clip, a simple interface, solid sound quality, and plenty of handy features--all for an ultralow price. It's an unbeatable value. | 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. |
