Apple iPod Reviews from CNET Editors

Editor's rating: 4.0 stars		Apple iPod Nano (fifth generation, 8GB, green) The bottom line: No other MP3 player on the planet packs more features, from video to a pedometer, into a smaller package than the overachieving Apple iPod Nano. Read Review	$133.99 to $145.00

Editor's rating: 4.0 stars		Apple iPod Touch (third generation, 64GB) The bottom line: Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch leaves its competitors in the dust. Read Review	$352.00 to $399.99

Editor's rating: 4.0 stars		Apple iPod Shuffle (third generation, 4GB, silver) The bottom line: The third-generation iPod Shuffle is the next best thing to an invisible MP3 player, but the quirky controls and microscopic design make it a limited recommendation. Read Review	$74.36 to $79.99

Editor's rating: 4.0 stars		Apple iPod Classic (second generation, 120GB, silver) The bottom line: 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. Read Review	$209.98 to $231.23
