| Bottom line | SanDisk's tongue-twister of an MP3 player is a stupefying value and its practical clip-on design is perfect for the gym. | 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. |
