Five years of CNET Australia: MP3 players

Are there any other MP3 players?

We could turn this five-year retrospective into an iPod love in, but we won't. If you want that, check out the family album instead.

Needless to say, with every half-decent MP3 player we've looked at over the years, we've asked ourselves the question: is this the iPod killer? And despite the Sony Walkman NWZ-S738, Archos 5, iRiver T6, Cowon O2 and Creative Zen Mozaic are all very fine MP3 players — in many ways better than Apple's ubiquitous pods — nothing has yet managed to kill it off. Indeed the way things are looking right now, the only product that looks like it could dethrone the iPod is another Jobsian product bearing the "i" prefix.
