CNET Review
The Good: The second-generation Apple iPod Touch has it all: music, videos, photos, podcasts, e-mail, Web browsing, Internet radio, games, Nike+, Wi-Fi music downloads, and an App Store for adding thousands of custom features.
The Bad: The second-generation iPod Touch may be overwhelming to users looking for a simple music player; audio quality is average; and iTunes software is required.
The Bottom Line: The second-generation iPod Touch includes features that are light-years ahead of the competition, its design has improved, and its price has finally come down to earth.

The Verdict: I won't tally up "the score" or assign points to the values in the specs chart because it doesn't matter. As you saw from the "My Pick" choices at the end of each section, there's no clear-cut winner. The iPod touch 2G, Cowon S9, and Samsung P3 each...

Review Summary: The second-generation iPod touch includes features that are light-years ahead of the competition, its design has improved, and its price has finally come down to earth.
