The devices both use LCD touch screens, run Microsoft’s Windows 7 OS, is equipped with an Intel Atom Z530 1.6GHz processor and have Intel Menlow microprocessors inside for longer-lasting batteries.

Apple iPod Touch 32 GB (3rd Generation)
The third generation of Apple’s iPod Touch is still the king of the hill when it comes to portable, Wi-Fi-wielding media players. It looks identical to the 2nd generation models, but the capacities and prices are improved. There’s no built-in video camera, as had been rumored, which is a bit of a surprise, considering the less-expensive and much-tinier nano got one.
