Apple iPod nano (2nd generation, 4GB) review

The 4GB iPod nano number two features a remodelled, slimmed-down casing and much improved battery life, while retaining the functionality of its earlier incarnation. The 4GB version comes in a range of bright colours and the compact package includes all that you might need for basic use Read more

iRiver U10 (1GB) review

Small and stylish, the U10 is packed with features -- it plays music, photos, video and text -- but it's rather expensive, and video is fairly pointless with such a small screen and flash memory Read more

Sony Walkman NWZ-A828 review

Sony's players never fail to win style points, and we're definitely impressed by the classy look of the new Walkman NWZ-A828 music and video player. It blows us away with its stellar audio performance and vivid, bright screen quality, making it one of our favourites Read more

Creative Zen Micro Photo (8GB) review

As a portable audio player, the Creative Zen Micro Photo is top-notch, and it makes a decent photo viewer. Unfortunately, it doesn't integrate the two as well as we'd expect at this point in the photo MP3 player game Read more

iRiver B20 review

Besides MP3s, the iRiver B20 plays both DAB and FM radio. A massive 170mm telescopic aerial swivels around the back to provide excellent sound quality for when you're in transit. It also has a built-in voice recorder, flash games and an alarm, making this a fully-stocked player 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

Samsung YP-Q1 Diamond review

This could very well be the best Samsung MP3 player to date. Not only is it remarkably affordable at £99 for 16GB, but with support for lossless FLAC audio, BBC iPlayer, FM radio, drag-and-drop file management and a cracking little screen, it's going on our list of Samsung successes Read more

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

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

Archos 605 WiFi review

The Archos 605 WiFi is the flagship model of the French manufacturer's fifth generation of portable media players. It boasts a great big 109mm touchscreen that's perfect for movies, and it supports an optional Opera browser for full Web access via wireless Read more
