Archos 404 review
The Archos 404 is the company's smallest in its 04 series of portable video players. This is a fully fledged PVP with all the fixings and a 30GB drive, but this one measures only 99mm by 76mm by 15mm, and has an 89mm (3.5-inch) screen. Though it doesn't record audio or video out of the box, it's still a good deal at less than £200 Read more

Archos 504 (160GB) review
The Archos 504 is an impressive portable, although it's noticeably bigger and heavier than an MP3 player. In return for the bulk and its lack of accessories, it offers big drive sizes, good battery life and outstanding AV performance Read more

Archos 604 WiFi review
The Archos 604 WiFi is basically the same as the 604 with the addition of a touchscreen and integrated WiFi. It has everything you could want in a portable video player on paper, however its performance ranks it as good, not great Read more

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

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 (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

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

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
