'Zen Touch vs NW-HD1 vs 4th Gen iPod iPod PROS: -Good support from Apple forums -Abundance of aftermarket accessories -Small dimensions and light weight -iTunes music management software easy to use -FireWire port. '
'Genius feature creates on-the-go playlists around a single song.'
'Rather, the Touch includes a backside illumination sensor, which is designed to make the rear-facing camera perform better in low-light.'
'The 5G iPod is available in black or white, and its polished backside gently slopes in from the front of the player, so it glides into pockets.'
'The 5GB (well, it's not even 5gb, it's actually around 4.6gb) is just too small.'
'Not compatible with some old accessories.'
'The 2.5-inch screen that?s on the new iPod is capable of displaying photos and video at up to a 320x240 resolution, either on the iPod's own LCD or when output to a television.'
'Only three buttons have made their way into the hardware, including a large power/hold button on the top edge, a slim home button below the screen on the front of player, and a button on the left edge of the device for quickly calling up the Zune's onscreen playback and volume controls. '
'the screen is bright and sharp--due in part to Microsoft's decision to use OLED and keep it smaller.'
'multitouch interface'
'The FM radio tuner that Microsoft has always waved over Apple’s head is now joined by an HD radio tuner to tap free, higher-quality terrestrial radio signals alongside your MP3 collection.'
'Summary: The design flaw in its A/V out connection cable made the Zen X-Fi2 a terrible disappointment after the great success I had with the old Vision M as a teaching tool.'
'And the player's interface, despite its clear and colourful design, felt sluggish and did not properly respond to touch input. '
'troublesome touch interface'
'the screen was bright and the contrast just about right.'
