The Bottom Line Samsung delivers Android's answer to the iPod Touch at a time when you can spend less for Android's answer to the iPad. Samsung delivers Android's answer to the iPod Touch at a time when you can spend less for Android's answer to the iPad. 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. SanDisk's tongue-twister of an MP3 player is a stupefying value and its practical clip-on design is perfect for the gym. 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.
