Sony Walkman NWZ-A846 review

The Sony Walkman NWZ-A846 is a great audio player with a useful noise-cancellation feature and a brilliant OLED screen. It's expensive, but it's definitely worth a look. Read more

Sony Network Walkman NW-HD5 review

Although the 20GB player lacks extra features that some competitiors offer, the HD5 delivers, with a wonderfully simple interface, a tiny form factor, sharp sound quality and prodigious battery life 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

Creative Zen Sleek review

Creative Zen Sleek review

Unlike many MP3 players trying to steal some reflected glory from the iPod, the Zen Sleek syncs easily with PCs and looks lovely. An overly complicated navigation system, which occasionally produces annoying pop-up menus, marrs the overall effect Read more

Cowon A3 review

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

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

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

Samsung YH-925 (20GB) review

Samsung may have cut corners to include a colour screen on the YH-925, but it offers the best interface this side of the iPod, and it supports a wealth of audio formats. It also lets you upload photos directly from compatible digital cameras Read more

Philips GoGear HDD6320 Jukebox (30GB) review

Music lovers who want the iPod's style but would rather use a subscription service should give some consideration to Philips' GoGear HDD6320 Jukebox, a sexy black portable that offers 30GB of storage, photo viewing on a bright, clear screen and even a few tricks that the iPod hasn't learned Read more
