Great touchscreen interface, good video playback, web surfing via Wi-Fi.

With its beautiful screen and Wi-Fi, the touch subtracts your computer from the song-management equation. Throw in Web browsing and this gizmo may even remove the computer from your bag. After all, why lug a laptop when you can email, surf, and downloa...

Movies are simply delicious on the huge, 480 x 320 screen, and it doesnt get hot during playback. So featurepacked its almost a standalone computer.
Version 1.x owners have to pay for upgrade to OS 2.1. Battery life could be better, and 8 video playback stops when power dips below 10 percent.

The iPod touch is primarily a media player. Everything else is gravy. In our first look at the iPod touch last month (Nov/07, p68), we said that it’s basically a phoneless iPhone. It turns out that the iPod touch is even less than a phoneless iPho...

The iPod Touch may cost too much for you, depending on your needs. It has a small capacity for a portable video player.
