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

Samsung U3 review

The Samsung U3 is a simple and inexpensive MP3 player. It comes in 1GB, 2GB and 4GB sizes and looks good with its slim body shape. It's easy to use and is perfect for anyone who wants a cheap device that has enough space on it to enjoy basic music playback Read more

Apple iPod (80GB, video) review

The '5.5-gen' iPod -- wiser and more able than its one-year-old predecessor -- gains many incremental improvements, including a brighter screen and better video battery life, but probably the most appealing aspect is the tantalising price, especially for the 30GB version 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

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

Sony NW-A1200 (8GB) review

Sony's 8GB NW-A1200 series is more or less identical to the 6GB NW-A1000. With an attractive design, good sound quality and some innovative firmware features, the A1200 should please those looking for music playback only. Just be aware that you'll be entering the Sony universe, which includes the notoriously counterintuitive SonicStage software 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 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
