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

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

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

SanDisk Sansa e260 (4GB) review

The e200 series is a departure from previous Sansa players, thanks to a higher-quality form factor and a bushel of cutting-edge features such as photo and video support, subscription compatibility, a microSD expansion slot and a tactile Click Wheel-type controller. The audio and screen quality aren't quite up to nano standards, though Read more
