Reviews of the Apple iPod (40GB, 4th generation)

CNET Review
The Good: Click Wheel improves user experience; better battery life; useful firmware enhancements such as multiple On The Go playlists; more bang for the buck.
The Bad: Dock, remote control, and carrying case not included (dock is included with the 40GB version).
The Bottom Line: Apple's fourth-generation iPod delivers notable improvements to an already excellent product--and at a lower price.
