Taking us through the highlights of each of the new iPods, David Pogue (New York Times) anoints them âthe best players you can buy.â iPod touch, for example, offers âthe iPhoneâs spectacular widescreen video playback, wireless Wi-Fi Internet features and its now-famous two-finger touchscreen operating system.â And wireless access to iTunes:  âYou can browse or search the catalog, listen to 30-second samples, buy songs for $1 eachâand download them directly to the iPod.â These iPods, Pogue says, âare nearly impossible to beat; there are other 160-gigabyte multimedia players, for example, but theyâre much bigger and more expensive than the iPod classic. And if you do value things like beauty, software elegance and trouble-free computer integrationâwell, good luck resisting that new Nano.â

The DVD industry continued to mature in 2007; diminishing returns on newly produced films led both the big studios and the boutique labels back to the archives. Rapid advances in digital restoration techniques and a concerted attempt to return to original release material produced some amazingly handsome new versions of familiar films (âThe Jazz Singer,â âNosferatuâ), as well as neglected gems (âKiller of Sheep,â âTrue Heart Susieâ).
