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 (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

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

Apple iPod (60GB, video) review

As a music player, Apple's new iPod is peerless -- beautiful, easy to use and incredibly thin. As a video player, it has much room for improvement, particularly if you don't live in the US, where content is much more plentiful, but it's certainly kickstarted the portable video market Read more
