The only scoring point of Ipod Touch is its ability to handle different file types like, pdf, txt, html, and picture files and its big screen. Considering the price difference between the two (Ipod Touch is almost double the price of Sony NWZ-S738F Walkman), I feel that Sony NWZ-S738F Walkman is a much better and cheaper option over Ipod Touch, if what you are looking for is a just a good portable media player. On the other hand, if you have a few hundred bucks to spare and want a stylish looking portable media player, then go for Ipod Touch.
