iPod Touch

You can flick the pictures and also zoom in or out using your fingers. This is the coolest feature of the iPhone and now the Touch. Apart from this, it also has the proprietary browser – Safari. Why? Because the player is Wi-Fi enabled, so you can not only surf the web and check mail, but also watch YouTube videos. You can also save your contacts, and there's a calculator for good measure.

Battery life for music is impressive, while the same can't be said about videos. I got three days of solid playback with maximum screen usage on low brightness. The screen eats up battery, so when listening to music indoors you should keep the brightness low. As for movies, I could watch only two hours' worth with about half an hour of music.

The iPod Touch costs around Rs 17,000 for 8GB and Rs 24,000 for 16GB at any Apple store in India, although you may have a wait a while for stocks to arrive. If you're in a hurry, the indicative gray market prices are Rs 13,250 and Rs 17,000 respectively.

If you are wondering if paying so much for just 8GB or 16 GB is worth it, just look at what the player offers you. It’s not only feature-rich, but also an experience in itself. The sound quality is good, so you wouldn’t need to compromise there. And since it’s flash memory based, you can take it out for your daily jog.
