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

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

Creative Zen Nano Plus (1GB) review
Given the recent launch of Apple's iPod nano, the Creative Zen Nano -- which came out first -- is very unfortunately named. This is unfair, as they're aimed at different markets -- the Zen Nano is half the price, has only 1GB of memory and a small black-and-white screen. It offers decent sound and it's perfectly usable, but the build quality's not all it could be Read more

Samsung YP-U1 (2GB) review
The Samsung YP-U1 is a USB key-style player. Unlike the iPod Shuffle, the U1 has a small LCD, which provides enough track information to give you an idea of what you're listening to. This, combined with the extra storage, makes it a strong contender if you're after a small, light MP3 player Read more

Datasafe oomi (2GB) review
The oomi battles hard for the title of the smallest MP3 player in the world, but is narrowly edged out by the new clip-on iPod Shuffle. Nonetheless, the oomi offers a small LCD screen, which the Shuffle does not, as well as protected WMA support, voice recording and an FM radio Read more

Samsung YH-820 review
The YH-820 is smaller than the iPod Mini and has a colour screen you can view photos on -- but its audio performance and music transfer software hamper its chances against the big beast of the MP3 player market Read more

Roberts Gemini 19 review
The Gemini 19 bedside DAB is a useful fellow who will appeal to anyone who needs a radio to wake them up with a daily dose of Brahms. Its Classic FM button is something of a cheek, but its reception is up to the usual DAB standard and its audio quality perfectly fine for drowsy mornings Read more

Meizu miniPlayer review
Meizu's credit card sized MP3 player is slightly thicker than iPod's nano and boasts video playback, an FM tuner, games and a calendar. The device will play back MP3, MP2, OGG and WAV files, offering a plausible alternative to iPod zombiedom Read more

XFM DAB Radio review
Although it's unsubtly endorsed by XFM, this stylish, curvy, white radio will let you listen to whichever digital radio station takes your fancy -- and record it to an SD card. Don't expect sonic miracles, though, and the spartan control design will take some getting used to Read more
