Typical price: £299
What is it: MP3 and video player with 60GB hard drive
What we think: Buy the affordable, sleek fifth-gen iPod for its audio virtues -- poor battery life and a relatively small screen hamper its appeal to video enthusiasts

"Top dog for style and sheer music enjoyment"
What I like:
The lovely design - sleek feel and look about it. If you are image-conscious like me, or care about the seamless music sychronisation this is a must.
What I don't like:
The poor battery life when using video or the colour display in general.
Review:
The iTunes layout and flawless podcast and playlist simplicity for example; sends the iPod Video off with no hassle for gungeing it up wth all of your music. Innovative and stylish, this is a sure-fire from Apple.
But, on a negative 'dagger'; the battery life is called poor for a real reason.
It doesn't last long enough. :(
This should definitely be analysed and improved. A worrying prospect indeed...
Overall, if you want an ingenious and beautiful gadget that you can carry around with you with pride, purchase this!

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
Apple iPod touch (3rd gen, 64GB)
Lack of a camera is disappointing, but this is a truly excellent media player in almost all other respects
