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 U2 Special Edition (30GB, video) review

The latest iPod U2 shares most of its characteristics with the fifth-generation video iPod but boasts a few key differences. The most noticeable is the Ferrari-red scrollwheel contrasted against the black body, but it also has the signatures of all four U2 band members laser-etched in the iPod's shiny, dark metal rear casing Read more

Creative Zen Vision:M (30GB) review

Though it's not as small as the new iPod, and its interface doesn't trump the Clickwheel, the 30GB Zen Vision:M is a real video player -- while on the iPod, video remains a novelty. It's slightly more expensive than Apple's world-conqueror, but the improved screen and number of video formats available more than make up for it Read more

Sony Network Walkman NW-HD5 review

Cowon A3 review

The Cowon A3 is the most capable video player we've looked at to date. It has the best screen we have ever seen on any media player. Playback for most videos is smooth and glitch-free and audio quality is close to perfect, supporting multiple codecs, making it a killer for the price Read more

Archos Gmini 402 (20GB) review

Archos packs in plenty of features on the Gmini 402, such as video and MP3/WMA playback, photo storage and image viewing, voice and in-line recording, and basic gaming. But this time, we also get support for Windows Media Player syncing, including DRM-protected music and video Read more

The Archos 605 WiFi is the flagship model of the French manufacturer's fifth generation of portable media players. It boasts a great big 109mm touchscreen that's perfect for movies, and it supports an optional Opera browser for full Web access via wireless Read more
