Sony Walkman NWZ-X1060 (X series) review

Expensive it may be, but the Sony Walkman NWZ-X1060 offers some distinct advantages over its rivals. With its effective on-board noise-cancelling technology, great OLED touchscreen and truly excellent audio quality, the question is: can it dethrone the iPod touch? Read more

Cowon O2 review

Cowon's new O2 PMP follows on from the smashing Q5W and A3 of last year, but scraps hard disks in favour of flash memory and SD cards. It's one of the most exciting product releases of the year in the PMP category, so we were thrilled to get one of the first ever off the production line Read more

Cowon A3 review

The Cowon A3 is the most capable video player we've looked at to date. It has the best screen we have ever seen on any media player. Playback for most videos is smooth and glitch-free and audio quality is close to perfect, supporting multiple codecs, making it a killer for the price Read more

Microsoft Zune (30GB) review

This is a different kind of portable media player: one that integrates wireless technology for Zune-to-Zune sharing of files, and one that works within an iTunes-like closed Zune Marketplace ecosystem. It has some weaknesses, notably over format support, but the Zune is a winner and its future is a bright one Read more

Apple iPod U2 Special Edition (30GB, video) review

The latest iPod U2 shares most of its characteristics with the fifth-generation video iPod but boasts a few key differences. The most noticeable is the Ferrari-red scrollwheel contrasted against the black body, but it also has the signatures of all four U2 band members laser-etched in the iPod's shiny, dark metal rear casing Read more

Creative Zen Vision:M (30GB) review

Though it's not as small as the new iPod, and its interface doesn't trump the Clickwheel, the 30GB Zen Vision:M is a real video player -- while on the iPod, video remains a novelty. It's slightly more expensive than Apple's world-conqueror, but the improved screen and number of video formats available more than make up for it Read more

Philips GoGear HDD6320 Jukebox (30GB) review

Music lovers who want the iPod's style but would rather use a subscription service should give some consideration to Philips' GoGear HDD6320 Jukebox, a sexy black portable that offers 30GB of storage, photo viewing on a bright, clear screen and even a few tricks that the iPod hasn't learned Read more

Archos Gmini XS202 review

The Archos Gmini XS202 keeps all the merits of the XS200 and adds some essential features that were strangely missing from the first iteration. And at £150, it's still a terrific bargain for a 20GB hard-drive MP3 player Read more

Archos Gmini 402 (20GB) review

Archos packs in plenty of features on the Gmini 402, such as video and MP3/WMA playback, photo storage and image viewing, voice and in-line recording, and basic gaming. But this time, we also get support for Windows Media Player syncing, including DRM-protected music and video Read more
