    The Good: The third generation of Apple's iPod Touch is still the king of the hill when it comes to portable, Wi-Fi-wielding media players. New additions such as Voice Control, graphics enhancements, improved accessibility, higher capacity, and a faster processor help to refine an already excellent product.

    The Bad: The video cameras found on the iPhone 3GS and iPod Nano remain conspicuously absent. The lack of refinements to its audio quality, hardware design, and video playback leave us feeling just a little uninspired.

    The Bottom Line: Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch leaves its competitors in the dust.

    Review Summary: The new iPod touch is arguably the last shot fired in the war of portable media players. There's simply no catching up to it in terms of quality and capabilities.

    Review Summary: When Apple released the original iPod Touch back in 2007, I don't think even they knew what it would become. One button, a touch screen for navigation and a “Mac OS X” operating system… Well, the release event was the only time we ever heard the iPhone...

    Review Summary: The iPod touch got perhaps the least attention of any iPod in the line-up's latest revamp.

    The Verdict: If you think a £110 premium is a fair price to pay for a bigger screen and App Store downloads, you'll love the touch. If not, turn to the classic and bag yourself an extra 96GB.

    Review Summary: The new iPod Touch is still a good device but doesn't really bring anything dramatically new to the table except more space.
