  Fake iPod Nano (4th generation)

  09 Oct 2009 5:20 PM

  If it wasn't for the glitchy software and sub-standard battery life, the fake iPod Nano might have been almost as good as the real thing.

  Apple iPod Touch (3rd generation, 32GB)

  24 Sep 2009 5:53 PM

  Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.

  Specs: Flash , 32GB, 480 x 320 pixels, Yes , No , No

  Apple iPod Classic 160GB

  17 Sep 2009 1:47 PM

  The iPod Classic refines the formula that put the iPod on the map. Few can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life and intuitive user interface.

  Apple iPod Touch 64GB (3rd generation)

  10 Sep 2009 7:22 AM

  Not much doing here in Touch-land. A new 64GB model, no 16GB unit and price cuts for everyone! Oh, and a bit more performance.

  Specs: Flash , 8GB, 480 x 320 pixels, Yes , No

  Apple iPod Nano (5th generation)

  15 Sep 2009 2:49 PM

  Not sure which new iPod to choose? The Nano's fifth incarnation wins hands down, with FM tuner and video camera being more than just cheap gimmicks.

  Specs: Flash , 8GB, 376 x 240 pixels, Yes , Yes

  Cowon D2+

  17 Jun 2009 11:18 AM

  The Cowon D2+ is a sturdy little touchscreen MP3 player with flexible sound enhancement settings and useful features, but it hasn't changed much from the 2007 version.

  iRiver T6

  06 Apr 2009 12:28 PM

  The iRiver T6 is a slender, sleek and well-made MP3 player, though it does lack an extensive feature set. For the casual listener or as a backup player, it's perfectly capable, but audiophiles may want to look elsewhere.

  Specs: 4GB, 128 x 160 pixels, Yes , Voice

  Apple iPod Shuffle (3rd generation)

  20 Mar 2009 5:04 PM

  The Apple iPod Shuffle (3rd generation) is not bad as a budget player, but it has too many limitations for us to recommend it.

  Sony Walkman X-series (16GB) NWZ-X1050

  02 Jun 2009 10:00 AM

  Great sound, brilliant OLED touchscreen, noise cancellation and as much YouTube as your Wi-Fi can handle. Shame about the extortionate price.

  Specs: Flash , 16GB, 432 x 240 pixels, Yes , Yes

  Sony Walkman X-series (32GB) NWZ-X1060

  05 Feb 2009 4:38 PM

  After our preview, we're enchanted with the touchscreen Walkman, but fear that it will only appeal to a small minority of the MP3 player market, namely non-conformists and music aficionados with a burning touchscreen itch.
