Archos 704 Wi-Fi review

The Archos 704 Wi-Fi is part portable media player and part PDA. It can playback movies, pump out music and show digital snaps, but like a PDA it has a touchscreen, support for Wi-Fi and a built-in Web browser Read more

iRiver Clix (4GB) review

If the iRiver Clix looks familiar, that's because it's simply an improved version of the iRiver U10. You get the same cool, miniature TV-like design and great features, alongside an enhanced user interface and superb integration with Windows Media Player 11. We hesitate to call anything perfect, but iRiver comes close with the Clix Read more

Archos AV500 review

While the interface could never be described as intuitive and the chassis is prone to scratching, this is a hugely desirable product that is competitively priced and packed with features. If you regularly use DivX video and you're a frequent traveller, then the AV500 is indispensible Read more

Creative Zen Vision review

Creative's Zen Vision is much better looking than its nearest rival, in both physical design and interface. It can't record from an AV source but if you want movies on the go, it comes a close second to the Archos AV500 Read more

iRiver Clix 2 Red Line 8GB review

The successful Clix 2 has now incorporated a red 'go-faster' stripe that adds a stylish touch to an already sleek and sophisticated player. Even better, the Red Line has doubled in capacity -- now an 8GB version -- so videos won't take up too much room in your music library Read more

Archos AV 700 TV review

The Archos AV 700 TV is the first mobile Freeview television that comes with a built-in hard drive recorder. It's also a portable media player, able to display movies and photos and play back MP3s. We had no trouble picking up excellent reception on all Freeview channels and got a lovely picture -- it is very expensive, though Read more

iriver P7 review

With its sleek aluminium body and large screen, the gorgeous iriver P7 touchscreen portable media player looks like it belongs in a modern art museum. The included PC software isn't great, but the unique touchscreen interface makes for a refreshing change and the P7's audio capabilities are good Read more
