Cowon iAudio 6 (4GB) review
Here's one for the iPod-hating underground -- a 4GB microdrive player with all kinds of features and customisability. It supports subscription audio as well as video and photos and FM recording, and it has a colourful 33mm OLED screen. The touch-sensitive interface takes some getting used to, but the audio quality is superb Read more

Sony Network Walkman NW-HD5 review
Although the 20GB player lacks extra features that some competitiors offer, the HD5 delivers, with a wonderfully simple interface, a tiny form factor, sharp sound quality and prodigious battery life 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

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

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

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 (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
