Reviews

  • Apple iPod Nano (2nd generation, 4GB)

    Apple's second generation iPod Nano looks and feels better than the original, and comes in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB versions.

  • Apple iPod (updated fifth generation, 80GB)

    The new "enhanced" iPod looks like a tremendous improvement over the last one, with a brighter screen and better battery life.

  • Creative Zen Vision:M (30GB)

    Let's get past the fact that it looks like the iPod. The Creative Zen Vision:M, drenched in features, is a refreshing breath of fresh air in the MP3 market.

  • Samsung YH-J70

    While Apple went out for minimal features in order to keep its iPods looking zen (no offence, Creative), Samsung, like most Korean companies, prefers to play it by the numbers (of features).

  • Archos AV500 Mobile DVR (30GB)

    If we could choose only one PVP, it'd be the Archos AV500 Mobile DVR.

  • Creative Zen Vision

    The Creative Zen Vision is a refreshing take on the portable video player.

    Sure, great sound and ease of use are important considerations when selecting an MP3 player, but so is sporting a device that reflects your personality.

  • Portable video player powerhouses

    Long before the video-enabled Apple iPod hit the market, companies such as Archos and Creative established themselves as portable video pioneers with the launch of a variety of devices that played video, in addition to MP3s and digital audio.

  • Apple iPod killers 2005

    We know what you're thinking: Why mention the iPod in the same breath as digital audio players from Archos, and Creative when the iPod doesn't even play the WMA format?
