Typical price: £350

What is it: A portable playback device for TV, movies, photos and MP3s

What we think: The Samsung is a reliable and compact portable media centre that's genuinely pocket-sized, let down only by a short battery life and a restrictive video format

Review summary	A few years ago the YH-999 might have seemed gimmicky, but now our lives are rich enough in multimedia content to justify a portable device to access this stuff on the move. Digital photos, video, MP3s and TV can all be transferred to the Samsung. It's not for shy types though -- the idea of a portable video player is still novel enough to guarantee an audience should you pull the YH-999 out in public Read full review	It's taken a relative newcomer to show the old timers how to do things right. PQI hasn't been in the mainstream long, but its P600 blows away the competiton like a nuclear bomb. Feature-wise, there's nothing more to ask for here. A few tweaks to the user-interface and PQI could just push this product from merely impressive to spectacular Read full review	It's not perfect, but the AV420 is by far the best portable video player we've seen Read full review	Measurable bulk and pricey 160GB version aside, the do-it-all Archos 504 is an awesome AV performer Read full review
