The New iPod Lineup Versus Its Rivals

Since we talk a lot here about pod­casts and mp3 files, it seems worth flag­ging this Yahoo gad­get review that pits the new iPod line­up against its rivals. Here, we’ve got the new iPod Touch v. the Sam­sung Yepp YP-P2; the new Nano (with video) v. the Sansa View, and the iPod Clas­sic v. Microsoft­’s Zune. The net result is that the new iPods come out ahead, but not by much. Get review here.

(For anoth­er review of the new iPod Touch, have a look at this piece on Giz­mo­do.)

Quick note: As part of the new line­up, the iPod Clas­sic fea­tures a new 160 GB mod­el for $349. It appar­ent­ly holds 40,000 songs (twice as many as the pre­vi­ous mod­el), which trans­lates to three con­tin­u­ous months of lis­ten­ing enter­tain­ment. Imag­ine how many mind-expand­ing pod­casts that could include.
