| The Bottom Line | The iPod Photo is a beautiful and versatile device with a new, affordable price. | Apple's fourth-generation iPod delivers notable improvements to an already excellent product--and at a lower price. | We love almost everything about this beautifully designed player, but the battery life could be longer. | The fourth-generation iPod Nano is easy on the eyes and the wallet, and you can't beat its hardware and user interface design. Just be sure to give iTunes 8 a spin before committing. | The iPod Classic refines the formula that put the iPod on the map. Few can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life, and intuitive user interface. | Basic specs |
