Samsung YP-K5 (2GB) review
Famous on account of a YouTube video, in which someone drives a truck over it, the Samsung YP-K5 is a surprisingly resilient flash-based MP3 player. The K5 is instantly recognisable because of its built-in speakers, so it's the most plausible option if you want to share your taste in music with the rest of the bus Read more

Inovix IMP-5500 IPocket (1GB) review
Inovix's IMP-5500 IPocket is a 1GB MP3 player that's designed to be almost an exact replica of Apple's iPod nano, except for the omission of the Click Wheel. The IPocket, however, is coated with a finish that is difficult to scratch, so if you like to keep your MP3 player in tip-top condition this could be the one for you Read more

Jens of Sweden MP-500 (1GB) review
A genuine novelty, the MP-500 is a flash MP3 player with built-in speakers, video playback and a smooth design. We wouldn't recommend playing your music through the speakers while on public transport, though -- you may be violently silenced by irate fellow commuters Read more

mobiBLU DAH-1900 (2GB) review
A quite astonishing battery life of 153 hours -- that's ten times the iPod's stamina -- can't mask the DAH-1900 (aka B153)'s flaws. The battery, unsurprisingly, is vast, which distorts the shape of the player, and the interface is difficult to use. Worst of all, though, the audio quality is utterly dismal Read more

Samsung YP-Z5 (2GB) review
It looks like a nano, and sounds like a nano, but the Z5 has two major differences. The interface isn't as intuitive as the iPod Click Wheel, but you don't need any proprietary software to load music onto it -- it's drag and drop on any OS. It might not be an iPod killer, but it gives Apple's baby a fair fight Read more

Samsung YP-T8 review
The 1GB, flash-based Samsung YP-T8 can't boast the small dimensions of the iPod Shuffle, but then the Shuffle doesn't reveal what it's playing. In contrast, the YP-T8 features a 41mm colour screen, and -- impressively for such a small device -- will even play video 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

Sony Walkman NW-A1000 review
The NW-A1000 itself is gorgeous-looking, as well as being easy to use and having excellent sound definition and control. The playback volume is noticeably lower than its counterparts, but with the new Connect Player software, are the reasons not to buy Sony slowly evaporating? Read more

Ministry of Sound MP3 FM Stix (512MB) review
For a player that looks and feels cheap, the Stix doesn't sound bad at all. Pre-loaded with Ministry favourites, this little player's sound quality is hardly subtle, but perfect for bass-heavy dance anthems Read more

Creative Zen Nano Plus (1GB) review
Given the recent launch of Apple's iPod nano, the Creative Zen Nano -- which came out first -- is very unfortunately named. This is unfair, as they're aimed at different markets -- the Zen Nano is half the price, has only 1GB of memory and a small black-and-white screen. It offers decent sound and it's perfectly usable, but the build quality's not all it could be Read more
