Price range: £56.98
What is it: 3GB Micro hard drive MP3 player
What we think: It has only 3GB, but the funky Archos Gmini XS 100 is the WMA -- and cheaper -- alternative to the iPod Mini

"DO NOT BUY THIS RUBBISH"
What I like:
4GB for relatively cheap, easy to add tunes
What I don't like:
Looks, feel, very hard to select the tune you want, broke after 2 days, crap screen & buttons
Review:
Archos let me down. Their media players seem good but this is just cheap. Rubbish graphics. Hard interface and buttons. Buy if you want to waste your money. Claims to be an iPod competitor. I don't even like iPods but they beat this hands down. NOT recommended.

MySpace Music stumbles into the UK: Eugh
MySpace Music launched in the UK today, and we just don't get it. Not only is it ludicrously late to the party, it's just horrible to use

Archos 5 Internet Tablet
Has an impressive range of features, but its unresponsive touchscreen is annoying
Philips GoGear Muse
Good format support and a slick design can't make up for a poor screen and laborious user interface
Apple iPod shuffle (September '09, 3rd gen, 4GB)
Its small size is impressive, but makes it trickier to use than rival devices
