Which new iPod is the one for me?

So, you've decided you must have an iPod. Your options are thankfully straightforward -- Apple has anticipated the average consumer's aversion to obscure letters and numbers and simply calls its ranges the iPod, the iPod nano and the iPod Shuffle. But do you want a fancy new one or an older version you might find on eBay? Read more

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

Datasafe oomi (2GB) review

The oomi battles hard for the title of the smallest MP3 player in the world, but is narrowly edged out by the new clip-on iPod Shuffle. Nonetheless, the oomi offers a small LCD screen, which the Shuffle does not, as well as protected WMA support, voice recording and an FM radio Read more

Sony NW-E003 (1GB) review

The Sony NW-E003 is a shining example of what the company is capable of when it gets its act together. The E003 is a 1GB flash-based player with a delightful monochrome display and the kind of battery life that can be measured in geological eras 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

Samsung YP-U1 (2GB) review

The Samsung YP-U1 is a USB key-style player. Unlike the iPod Shuffle, the U1 has a small LCD, which provides enough track information to give you an idea of what you're listening to. This, combined with the extra storage, makes it a strong contender if you're after a small, light MP3 player 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
