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

Apple iPod nano (4GB) review

Steve Jobs and company have pulled another beauty from the company's satchel of wonder. The Apple iPod nano sets new standards for gadget design and stretches the boundaries of technology. It's the world's first 4GB flash player, yet it's also one of the thinnest 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

If you're looking for an obese feature set, look no further than the iRiver H340, because it's loaded. The H340 can handle a variety of file formats, including MP3, unprotected WMA, OGG and ASF audio files 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

SanDisk Sansa c150 (2GB) review

The Sansa c150 features a small 31mm (1.2-inch), 65k colour screen, FM tuner/recorder and 2GB of flash memory. Apart from subpar battery life and poor recording performance, the SanDisk Sansa c100 series is good overall value with a decent set of features Read more
