Hot on the heels of the new iPod announcements by Apple yesterday come the very first reviews and first looks on these new media players. We’ll start with the iPod touch where the folks MacWorld had this to say:

Latest version of widescreen iPod takes another step towards the iPhone

PC Mag has their review of the new touch here and had this to say as a result:

While the second-generation iPod touch is very similar to its predecessor, it has enough extra features, like Genius playlists and excellent games from the Apps Store, to maintain its standing at the top of the PMP heap.

PC World has a video look at both the iPod touch and the new iPod nano.. and since we’re talking about the new nano, here’s what PC Magazine had to say about the 4th gen nano:

Apple’s slimmed-down, slicker-than-ever iPod nano responds to your movements, creates playlists it thinks you’ll like, and makes the competition look like a bunch of clunkers.

If you want to see some comparison pictures of the new nano – check out iLounge here.

So who’s
