Macworld's iPod touch 8GB Coverage

  • iPod touch 8GB
  • Review: iPod touch with 1.1.1 update In our original review we suggested that the iPod touch’s video quality was a deal-killer. With the 1.1.1 update that quality has improved somewhat—enough to warrant a half-mouse uptick in our rating. But the touch’s feature set remains arbitrary.

16GB iPod nano (sixth generation, late 2010)

With the sixth edition of the iPod nano, Apple has given the nano line its biggest makeover yet, including shrinking the player down and adding a Multi-Touch display. While some of these changes offer big improvements over the traditional Click Wheel interface, the new nano also loses some features and just might be a bit too small.
