The Apple iPod Touch, since its release in 2007, has ruled the portable-media-player waves like Britannia. It's by far the best designed, most feature-packed, and easiest-to-use media device on the market. But now that Apple's iPhone and iPad have so successfully edged in on its domain, does the iPod Touch still have a viable place in the media-consumption market? We would answer that question with a resounding yes. To an extent, the new iPod Touch is the iPad, but even more portable. And it's the iPhone, without the reception issues (and not, entirely, without the phone). To put it simply: The 2010 iPod Touch is as close to perfection as any portable media player has come yet.

Here are some highlight from our review:
"At first glance, it's not easy to tell the difference between the latest generation of the iPod Touch and the previous. The first thing you'll notice, though, is that it's slightly thinner and lighter."
"As far as new features go, the iPod Touch has a few exceptional ones. Of these, several were introduced with the latest version of the iPhone, including the gorgeous, LED-backlit Retina Display screen."
"For shooting video, the front camera features only VGA resolution (640x480 pixels), whereas the rear camera shoots in 720p."
"Two features that make gaming a whole lot of fun on the 2010 Touch are the new, faster A4 processor chip and the three-axis gyro sensor."
"But when it comes right down to it, the iPod's roots are as a music player, and the iPod Touch does that impeccably."
"We were also impressed by the previously discussed FaceTime video-calling feature, which brings a little bit of the iPhone 4 to the iPod Touch."
"We also noted a ton of other practical, albeit more mundane, features built into the Touch. Most are not new: calendar, weather, maps (although there's no GPS tracking), notes, clock, voice memos, stocks, and calculator."
"Battery life is one of the most important aspects of a portable media player, and the Touch did not disappoint."
