iPods are the best portable music player available. Small enough to fit easily into a hand or a pocket, an iPod classic can hold the contents or your entire CD collection in compressed audio files, your entire photo collection, and enough hours of video to keep you entertained for a week or more. An ipod nano holds much less but is correspondingly smaller and cuter. And an iPod shuffle, the tiniest of the lot, not only holds enough music to keep you listening all day but also has enough battery life to play it all.

The iPhone is the mobile for anyone who enjoys music and video on the move. And the iPod touch--like an iPhone without the phone bits--is a terrific mobile entertainment device, Internet tablet notepad, and even game platform.

Whichever model of iPod or iPhone you choose, you can download a dozen CDs worth of music from your computer to it in less than a minute, and you can recharge the iPod or iPhone quickly either from your computer or from any handy power outlet. And whether you use windows or Mac OSx, you can enjoy music on your computer with iTunes, the best jukebox and music-management application available.

But you can also do more--much more. Choose the iPod or iPhone that's best for you.
