The fact that the iPod Touch doesn’t include it, when the iPod Nano does, is a loss on Apple’s part.Winner: Walkman Z, with FM radio and an audio equalizer. It’s what set the Zune apart for the longest time, and what makes some smartphones relevant for many users today. However, both of these are moot compared to the iPod, the former which can be fixed through apps and the latter which is identical to the iPod’s 30-pin connector.What really sets the Walkman apart? Many forget how important radio is for music listening, which I can never stress enough. It also has HDMI out for video and audio playback, as well as gaming.However, the Z also lacks some pretty basic features, like plenty of video filetypes (though this is an easy fix with the right playback app) and charging through a dedicated cable (not MicroUSB). There’s a full equalizer, a number of audio enhancers, a built-in FM tuner (YES!), and decent included earbuds. FeaturesThe Walkman Z offers some pretty unique features not typically found on PMPs today, most of which are aimed specifically at music listeners. And overall, the reviews on the product seem to be superior to the Classic and Air options, so perhaps iTouch is phasing out production of those other watches.
