| Bottom line | The fourth-gen
iPod Touch is Apple's second-best portable media player, with a price that will help you forget about No. 1. | 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. | When it comes to competing with
Apple's iPod Touch media player, the Galaxy Player 4.2 is Samsung's best effort yet, but it's still playing catch-up. | 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. |
