The Bottom Line	The iPod Touch is a beautiful product, inside and out, but prepare yourself for sticker shock.	The second-generation iPod Touch includes features that are light-years ahead of the competition, its design has improved, and its price has finally come down to earth.	Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.	The iPod Touch is a beautiful product, inside and out, but prepare yourself for sticker shock.
