Apple iPod Touch (third generation, 64GB)

Here's our weekly roundup of the new products CNET reviewers liked most.

Apple iPod Touch (third generation, 64GB)

Editors' rating: 4.5 out of 5

The good: The third generation of Apple's iPod Touch is still the king of the hill, when it comes to portable, Wi-Fi-wielding media players. New additions such as Voice Control, graphics enhancements, improved accessibility, higher capacity, and a faster processor help refine and already-excellent product.

The bad: The video cameras found on the iPhone 3GS and iPod Nano remain conspicuously absent. The lack of refinements to its audio quality, hardware design, and video playback leave us feeling just a little uninspired.

The bottom line: Although the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.

Price range: $399.00 - $399.99

The 8GB iPod Touch got a slightly lower score than this model because of slight differences in processor speed and features. See that review here.
