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

Samsung YP-K5 (2GB) review
Famous on account of a YouTube video, in which someone drives a truck over it, the Samsung YP-K5 is a surprisingly resilient flash-based MP3 player. The K5 is instantly recognisable because of its built-in speakers, so it's the most plausible option if you want to share your taste in music with the rest of the bus Read more

Samsung YP-Z5 (2GB) review
It looks like a nano, and sounds like a nano, but the Z5 has two major differences. The interface isn't as intuitive as the iPod Click Wheel, but you don't need any proprietary software to load music onto it -- it's drag and drop on any OS. It might not be an iPod killer, but it gives Apple's baby a fair fight Read more

Creative Zen Nano Plus (1GB) review
Given the recent launch of Apple's iPod nano, the Creative Zen Nano -- which came out first -- is very unfortunately named. This is unfair, as they're aimed at different markets -- the Zen Nano is half the price, has only 1GB of memory and a small black-and-white screen. It offers decent sound and it's perfectly usable, but the build quality's not all it could be Read more

Samsung YP-U1 (2GB) review
The Samsung YP-U1 is a USB key-style player. Unlike the iPod Shuffle, the U1 has a small LCD, which provides enough track information to give you an idea of what you're listening to. This, combined with the extra storage, makes it a strong contender if you're after a small, light MP3 player Read more

Datasafe oomi (2GB) review
The oomi battles hard for the title of the smallest MP3 player in the world, but is narrowly edged out by the new clip-on iPod Shuffle. Nonetheless, the oomi offers a small LCD screen, which the Shuffle does not, as well as protected WMA support, voice recording and an FM radio Read more

Samsung YH-820 review
The YH-820 is smaller than the iPod Mini and has a colour screen you can view photos on -- but its audio performance and music transfer software hamper its chances against the big beast of the MP3 player market Read more

Samsung YP-T8 review
The 1GB, flash-based Samsung YP-T8 can't boast the small dimensions of the iPod Shuffle, but then the Shuffle doesn't reveal what it's playing. In contrast, the YP-T8 features a 41mm colour screen, and -- impressively for such a small device -- will even play video Read more

Creative Zen Sleek review
Unlike many MP3 players trying to steal some reflected glory from the iPod, the Zen Sleek syncs easily with PCs and looks lovely. An overly complicated navigation system, which occasionally produces annoying pop-up menus, marrs the overall effect Read more

Ministry of Sound MP3 FM Stix (512MB) review
For a player that looks and feels cheap, the Stix doesn't sound bad at all. Pre-loaded with Ministry favourites, this little player's sound quality is hardly subtle, but perfect for bass-heavy dance anthems Read more
