Top 3 Lab Tested Media Players
  • # 1 Apple iPod Touch 2nd Gen 16GB
    Apple iPod Touch 2nd Gen 16GB
    $115.97

    Casting the rules of grammar aside, Apple describes the new 2nd generation iPod Touch as "the funnest iPod ever". But while copy editors everywhere are grunting in disgust, this upgrade to the 1st generation Touch does much to live up to its hype, with a number of improvements that round out an already attractive package.

  • # 2 Archos 7 160GB
    Archos 7 160GB
    $448.00

    The Archos 7 is currently the largest offering from Archos, with a screen that's nearly 7-inches wide (it's slightly smaller than a full 7). While this makes the Archos 7 a great device for watching videos, it makes it the least-portable media players we've seen so far.

  • # 3 Apple iPod Nano 4th Gen 8GB
    Apple iPod Nano 4th Gen 8GB
    $149.00

    The iPod Nano has undergone quite a transformation since it was first released. The last iteration was short, squat, and obliterated the iPod Mini from existence.
