Cowon iAudio U3 (2GB) review

The U3 features a dazzling, albeit tiny (just 30mm across), colour screen and video playback capabilities -- amazing for a player of this size. It sounds great, too. However, it's only £20 less than a 30GB video iPod and you can't use it with subscription services Read more

iRiver E100 review

If you're not fussed about Apple's iPod range, the iRiver E100 offers great sound quality, simple operation and a pleasant design for not a lot of dosh. Providing both music and video capabilities, this player will reward you with some great features and ease of use Read more

Cowon iAudio X5 (30GB) review

On paper, the 30GB, iPod-size X5 has everything that Apple's ice-white wonder does -- including music playback, a photo viewer and on-the-fly playlists -- then it piles on video playback, an FM radio, voice and line-in recording, and even the ability to read and save images directly from a digital camera. But it doesn't have anything to match iTunes Read more

iRiver Lplayer review

The most notable feature of the iRiver Lplayer music and video player is its ease of use. Helped by its simple menus, this is a great player for technophobes and the usually gadget-fearing population. It's a great MP3 player: cute, small, simple and it sounds good Read more

Cowon iAudio F2 review

Cowon's iAudio F2 may look more like a mobile phone than an MP3 player but it's a great audio device -- it supports a wide range of file formats, including OGG and FLAC, and the sound quality is impressive. It's just a shame the interface isn't easier to use Read more

Samsung YP-Q2 review

Up close, its plastic design leaves something to be desired, but the YP-Q2 budget MP3 player still represents excellent value for money. Its overall performance is good, there's a decent array of features, and the relatively large screen makes viewing photos and videos a pleasure Read more

Samsung YP-U5 review

Those seeking an affordable secondary MP3 player could do far worse than the YP-U5. Its battery life is good, it offers above-average sound quality and it supports a decent range of audio formats, although AAC is notably missing. A fitness app also makes it well-suited to gym fanatics Read more

Cowon D3 review

The Cowon D3 Plenue media player offers great video and audio quality. Unfortunately, its tweaked Android 2.3 Gingerbread software is buggy, making the device frustrating to use and difficult to recommend. Read more

Samsung Galaxy Player 50 review

The Android-based Samsung Galaxy Player 50 aims to knock Apple's iPod touch off its pedestal, but fails. A number of flaws mean this media player feels rushed and generally unimpressive. Read more
