The Bottom Line	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.	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.	SanDisk's tongue-twister of an MP3 player is a stupefying value and its practical clip-on design is perfect for the gym.	Samsung delivers Android's answer to the iPod Touch at a time when you can spend less for Android's answer to the iPad.	The fourth-gen iPod Touch is Apple's second-best portable media player, with a price that will help you forget about No. 1.
