| Review Summary | Thanks to its limited capacity, the gorgeous iPod Nano isn't for everybody, but it sets the standard for MP3 players to come. | 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. | 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 Creative Zen V Plus is a superb choice for anyone looking for a compact and feature-filled flash MP3 player with great sound quality. If you're looking for a more sophisticated design (or have large thumbs), check out the iRiver Clix instead. |
