Review summary The Zune has blossomed from an ugly duckling into a worthy iPod alternative. The iPod Touch is a beautiful product, inside and out, but prepare yourself for sticker shock. The shape may have changed, but Apple's relentless attention to detail remains. The third generation of the iPod Nano provides loads of entertainment for a down-to-earth price. The iPod Touch is a beautiful product, inside and out, but prepare yourself for sticker shock. The iPod Touch is a beautiful product, inside and out, but prepare yourself for sticker shock.
