Apple iPod touch 4th gen review

Apple iPod touch (3rd gen, 64GB) review
Apple's third-generation iPod touch may lack a camera, but it's the best portable media player that you can currently get your hands on. As well as sporting a number of useful new features, such as voice control, a faster processor means it performs even more smoothly than before Read more

Archos packs in plenty of features on the Gmini 402, such as video and MP3/WMA playback, photo storage and image viewing, voice and in-line recording, and basic gaming. But this time, we also get support for Windows Media Player syncing, including DRM-protected music and video Read more

Archos 7 review
The gorgeous Archos 7 portable media player is an impressive performer that's especially good for watching movies on the go, thanks to its 7-inch TFT LCD touchscreen, which offers excellent picture quality.

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

The Cowon A3 is the most capable video player we've looked at to date. It has the best screen we have ever seen on any media player. Playback for most videos is smooth and glitch-free and audio quality is close to perfect, supporting multiple codecs, making it a killer for the price 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

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
