| Bottom line | The seventh-generation
iPod Nano is an incredibly compact portable media player with gym-friendly features, but it's overshadowed by the superior value of Apple's iPod Shuffle and fourth-generation iPod Touch. | 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 fourth-gen
iPod Touch is Apple's second-best portable media player, with a price that will help you forget about No. 1. | SanDisk's tongue-twister of an MP3 player is a stupefying value and its practical clip-on design is perfect for the gym. | The
Apple iPod Shuffle is an adorable way to take your favorite songs on the go, but sometimes it's too small for its own good. |
