| Bottom line | 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. | 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 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. | Samsung delivers Android's answer to the iPod Touch at a time when you can spend less for Android's answer to the
iPad. |
