The Bottom Line	The iPod Photo is a beautiful and versatile device with a new, affordable price. The 30GB version is a particularly good value at only $50 more than the audio-only 20GB version.	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 Zune HD delivers one of the best portable music and video experiences money can buy. At a time when many people have shifted their focus to games and applications, providing a killer media experience may not be enough for potential Zune buyers.	The amazingly low priced updated Apple iPod gets many under-the-hood improvements, but it's still not a true video player.	Apple's fourth-generation iPod delivers notable improvements to an already excellent product--and at a lower price.
