Bottom line
Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch leaves its competitors in the dust.
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.
