After spending seven days live with our new iPods , we ’re gon na let them stay . As far as media - slinging sidekicks go , they ’re pretty good . But it ’s not all sunshine and rainbows .
iPod Touch: Multimedia Life-Partner
It ’s easy to say that the new iPod Touch is the good iPod Touch ever . ( It is . ) It is un - perchance sparse — so thin that you release a slow gasp as you peel it out of its snug acrylic womb . The way the refined chrome back bends space around it render it thinner still , like you ’re holding a screen imprinted into the air in front of you . ( At least , until it ’s scuff and scratched and nicked into reality . ) You only get a true sense of its dimension when you plug it in for the first time : It ’s exactly thick enough to accommodate the holes for a pier connecter and earpiece .
The terms of invisibility is that the ringlet and bulk buttons also dethaw into imperceptibility . The in - origin remote and mic have been removed from the headphones as well , in a fit of cheapness by Apple . A sliver of a corner to thin out , but it ’s emblematic of the little ways Apple counteract the Touch ’s voltage .

iPod Nano: Prime Player, Crazy Potential.
Apple ’s iPod nano 2010 is a good MP3 player . It ’s lilliputian , the electric battery seems to last forever , and it has a great exploiter interface .
This is the best pure music player out there right now , thanks to the compounding of its physical specs and user interface . It may not be the prettiest — it prompt me of some Formosan generic MP3 player designs — but the combining of its hardware and exploiter port make it a achiever for anyone in search of a simple-minded , extremist - compendious , no - complex - apps - or - games - needed , extremely - easy - to - control euphony participant . particularly fun people .
This thing is tiny and radical - light . enceinte enough to allow for easy touchscreen operation , but very thin at 0.35 inches — include the clip . At only 0.74 ounces , I forgot where it was clip to my clothes until I needed to switch a play list . It last through three day without reload one single time .

This new Shuffle , this little straight nubbin of an MP3 player , is equal parts retreat and evolution . Gone wholly is the BIC lighter styling of its immediate forerunner . In its place , a truncated version of the2006 Shuffle , buttons and all . It ’s that last part that ’s crucial .

You ’d be heavily - pressed to place the 2010 iPod Shuffle in the same genus as last year ’s model found on looks alone . The two next to each other search like Abbot and Costello — long versus squat . The new guy measure out 1.24 inches wide by 1.14 inches improbable by 0.34 inch thick , with a control steering wheel that ’s almost precisely the diameter of a quarter . It weighs just under half an ounce , illume enough to be essentially imperceptible — to the point that you may blank out you have it clipped to your shirt pouch until midway through an important meeting , like I did .
