All of these devices are great, but I take the iPhone everywhere. With the iOS-based iPod app, listening to audiobooks leaped forward in usability. The screen is much larger than on traditional iPods, allowing the display of more and more useful information, and allows better album and chapter art. The touch-based iPod app introduced one new navigation control, a second skip back button, and replaced classic scrollwheel-based scrubbing with touch-based scrubbing that is easier to discover, and allows finer control.
On books with useful chapter information, you can actually skip to chapters by name. The user experience of navigating back and forth in an audiobook has never been more intuitive or easier to do.
The future of audiobooks on the iPod is iOS. Not only is the built in iPod app excellent for audiobooks, but after two years of the App Store for iOS devices, the options for audiobook playback have exploded. In earlier versions of this article, I always recommended the iPod Nano as the best value for audiobooks. It combines a very good user interface with a great form factor, at a good price.
Both devices run the same version of iOS, and provide identical experiences in the iPod app. And for the most part, they can both run all of the same third-party audiobook apps currently available. Is there really a difference? The iPhone even an older iPhone 4S is faster, has more memory, a better screen, a better camera, and so on. Its speaker is good enough to use instead of headphones in a reasonably quiet environment.
I want to carry only one device with me. If I had to carry two devices a phone and an iPod , one of them would get left behind regularly, to keep my pockets light.
