The Bottom Line The iPod Touch is the best iPod yet, offering all the fun of the iPhone experience without a carrier contract or monthly bill. 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. 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.
