In 2010 who needs a dedicated personal media player, when it is difficult to find a cell phone that will not play media than one that will? You do. In addition being smaller, easier to use and cheaper than a cell phone, a good PMP offers a bigger screen for video, longer battery life, and not disrupt your workout with a call from the boss.

The battle between the iPod Touch and Microsoft Zune HD rages on. Ignoring the claims and focus only on the two devices as media players, we believe that HD Zune wins. In addition to a more limited factor, from mild, the Zune uses an extremely sharp HD OLED screen offers better battery life, and cheaper to store them, too. That said, stay away if you’re looking anything like the pocket computer functionality of Apple’s amazingly versatile Touch.
