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

Apple iPod nano (3rd gen, video) review
With its wider, square design and its video playback capability, the latest iPod nano is more like a 'light' version of the iPod classic. Despite its changes, the nano is still one of the smallest, thinnest and most exquisitely designed MP3 players on the market 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

Sony NW-E003 (1GB) review
The Sony NW-E003 is a shining example of what the company is capable of when it gets its act together. The E003 is a 1GB flash-based player with a delightful monochrome display and the kind of battery life that can be measured in geological eras 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

Sony Network Walkman NW-E507 (1GB) review
Decked out in gold and silver livery, the NW-E507 is royalty's MP3 player of choice. While the graphic designer or musician carries an iPod, the Arabian Prince or Maharaja will only be seen with a Sony player. It glitters like a polished gold bar dipped in translucent plastic Read more

If you liked the original, you're going to love the Creative Zen Stone Plus with Speaker. It's looking a whole lot more professional these days in an attractive matte finish and with excellent battery life, it's a great choice for listening to podcasts on a roadtrip Read more
