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

Sony NWZ-E436F Walkman review

It can't be avoided: any new MP3 player is in direct competition with the Apple iPod, and manufacturers are well aware of this fact. The Sony E-Series Walkman is just as easy to use as the iPod nano, offers a similar array of features and delivers great sound quality -- but costs less 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

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

iRiver Clix 2 review

The Clix 2 -- officially called Clix 2nd Generation -- is the younger brother to the hugely successful and highly rated Clix, and it's so attractive, it actually looks slightly edible. It also offers a huge range of features, beautiful video playback and sumptuous sound -- a winner all round Read more

Sony Walkman NWZ-E453 review

The Sony Walkman NWZ-E453 isn't quite as slick or good-looking as its iPod rivals, but its simplicity, affordability and portability make it a worthy competitor none the less. Overall, it's a winner. Read more

SanDisk Sansa c250 (2GB) review

The c200 series is SanDisk's cheapest to date. The player is easy to use and packed with features, such as MicroSD memory expansion, photo viewing, FM radio and voice recording. It's not a high-quality device, however, with a small screen and bass-deficient audio quality, but it's ideal for newcomers to digital music Read more
