Review:
As soon as I set my eyes on it, I knew that this was the perfect one for me. This player really does the job if you don't need a lot of features; the sound, video, and photo quality are all stunning, and you can listen for 4 hours a day and not have to recharge it for a week. However Sonic Stage can get pretty annoying sometimes. If you're not keen on all those other features, the Sony NW-A800 is just right.

Nintendo cautions against holding your breath for a new Wii HD. Such action won't make it release an HD console any quicker, and might result in the breath-holder getting dizzy and passing out

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
