The goal of this article was to persuade you that there is much more out there besides that coveted iPod Touch. However, that doesn’t mean that iPod’s themselves are out of the question. They are simply suggesting you go for the much more affordable iPod Touch. The article states,
“Budget MP3 players market can be divided into three categories. First up we have “Ultra-Cheap”—simple devices that don’t offer much additional functionality beyond basic music playback. These players typically cost well under $100 and make good choices for music lovers on a budget, or anyone who fears losing an expensive device to a treadmill or, worse, the cold, hard pavement. Compact and portable, at this price they’re also easily replaceable. Players like the screenless Apple iPod shuffle and the cute SanDisk Sansa Fuze are top picks.” (read the full article here)
