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.

Reviewing iTunes 7 and the new line of iPods, David Pogue writes for the New York Times, you can&#146;t &#147;find a better online music store, or a free jukebox program as powerful and clean as iTunes.
