Samsung YP-T9 review

Samsung YP-T9 review

Samsung employs the twin weapons of Bluetooth and video playback on its YP-T9 in an attempt to blast the iPod nano out of the water. It's slightly more expensive than the nano, but good design, long battery life and FM radio recording are worth it Read more

Creative Zen Micro Photo (8GB) review

As a portable audio player, the Creative Zen Micro Photo is top-notch, and it makes a decent photo viewer. Unfortunately, it doesn't integrate the two as well as we'd expect at this point in the photo MP3 player game 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

Cowon Q5W review

Cowon's Q5W could be Holy Grail of media players -- or more specifically, video players. It boasts unprecedented compatibility with file formats and terrific performance, in addition to many levels of customisation, making it a must-see choice for anyone who demands everything for their video 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 Walkman NWZ-A826 review

Sony's players never fail to win style points, and we're definitely impressed by the classy look of the new Walkman NWZ-A826 music and video player. It blows us away with its stellar audio performance and vivid, bright screen quality, making it one of our favourites Read more

Apple iPod nano (4th gen) review

Apple seems to release new iPod models every other day, but this newest iPod nano really does impress. At just 6mm thick, it's the thinnest one they've ever made -- but there's more to it than that. New features include the Genius playlist tool, tilt sensor and capabilities for vision-impaired people Read more

Sony Walkman NWZ-A815 review

We are happy to report that both high prices and Sony's SonicStage software are nowhere to be seen on the new range of A-Series players. Instead, you'll get a heap of high-quality codecs that can be organised with the utmost simplicity. Simple to use and great looks -- now who wouldn't be happy? Read more

Creative Zen V Plus review

An attractive 8GB flash-based MP3 player with a plethora of features, the Creative Zen V Plus shows even well-established players such as the iPod nano how things could be done with a little extra thought Read more

Cowon S9 review

The S9's main strengths are its sensitive touchscreen, great features and superb sound quality. Despite a disappointing lack of AAC support and an average user interface, it's Cowon's best MP3 player to date, although it's not as great a threat to the iPod touch as the company might like Read more
