Improved from last
year’s version, this
audio-only player is
cheap and colorful,
but lacks for a screen
and storage capacity
to hold all your music.

The switch to a tiny body
and touchscreen lost nano
its video and gaming
features, as well as interface
conveniences, but it’s a
wearable novelty due to its
new rear clip, if overpriced.

High storage capacity is the
only remaining virtue of this
now-ignored model, which
wasn’t updated for 2010.
Plays audio and videos, but
not increasingly important
iOS apps or games.

Though there are 27* dierent iPod and iPhone models to
choose from this year, the 32GB iPod touch is the family’s high

relatively good rather than great alternatives. We explain why in
