Archos 604 WiFi review

The Archos 604 WiFi is basically the same as the 604 with the addition of a touchscreen and integrated WiFi. It has everything you could want in a portable video player on paper, however its performance ranks it as good, not great Read more

Archos 504 (160GB) review

The Archos 504 is an impressive portable, although it's noticeably bigger and heavier than an MP3 player. In return for the bulk and its lack of accessories, it offers big drive sizes, good battery life and outstanding AV performance 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

Archos 404 review

The Archos 404 is the company's smallest in its 04 series of portable video players. This is a fully fledged PVP with all the fixings and a 30GB drive, but this one measures only 99mm by 76mm by 15mm, and has an 89mm (3.5-inch) screen. Though it doesn't record audio or video out of the box, it's still a good deal at less than £200 Read more

Apple iPod (80GB, video) review

The '5.5-gen' iPod -- wiser and more able than its one-year-old predecessor -- gains many incremental improvements, including a brighter screen and better video battery life, but probably the most appealing aspect is the tantalising price, especially for the 30GB version Read more

Creative Zen Aurvana review

Creative Labs have jumped on the bandwagon and launched a pair of in-ear headphones -- the Zen Aurvanas are extrememly lightweight and effectively block out outside noise, leaving you with a clean, balanced sound. Available in 'anti-iPod black', they match up nicely with the Zen Vision:M or Zen V Plus Read more

Kingston K-PEX Portable Media Player (2GB) review

The K-PEX, available in 1GB and 2GB capacities, offers tonnes of features at a decent price. Where it falls short (mainly in build quality and video support), it makes it up in its ease of use and the ability to display all sorts of music and video Read more

Sony NW-E005 (2GB) preview hands-on

Sony's latest entrant to the MP3 player market is the NW-E000 series. While we're fans of the technicolour industrial design and the series is priced affordably (£99, 2GB; £79, 1GB; £59, 512MB), make sure you're comfortable with the required SonicStage software and Connect Music Store before you take the plunge Read more

Sony NW-A1200 (8GB) review

Sony's 8GB NW-A1200 series is more or less identical to the 6GB NW-A1000. With an attractive design, good sound quality and some innovative firmware features, the A1200 should please those looking for music playback only. Just be aware that you'll be entering the Sony universe, which includes the notoriously counterintuitive SonicStage software Read more

Cowon iAudio 6 (4GB) review

Here's one for the iPod-hating underground -- a 4GB microdrive player with all kinds of features and customisability. It supports subscription audio as well as video and photos and FM recording, and it has a colourful 33mm OLED screen. The touch-sensitive interface takes some getting used to, but the audio quality is superb Read more
