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

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

Apple iPod nano (4GB) review

Steve Jobs and company have pulled another beauty from the company's satchel of wonder. The Apple iPod nano sets new standards for gadget design and stretches the boundaries of technology. It's the world's first 4GB flash player, yet it's also one of the thinnest Read more

SanDisk Sansa e260 (4GB) review

The e200 series is a departure from previous Sansa players, thanks to a higher-quality form factor and a bushel of cutting-edge features such as photo and video support, subscription compatibility, a microSD expansion slot and a tactile Click Wheel-type controller. The audio and screen quality aren't quite up to nano standards, though Read more
