The Apple iPod family album

We take a look at all of Apple's iPods past and present. It's sure been a journey since that chunky, black-and-white original.

Archos 605

The Archos 605 Wi-Fi portable video player is one of the best mobile distractions money can buy.

Reviews

  • Archos 604 (30GB)

    The do-it-all Archos 604 with its improved design is slightly marred by mediocre audio performance. It's an amazing PVP, but not a great audio player.

  • 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.

  • Apple iPod U2 Special Edition (30GB, video)

    The iPod U2 certainly isn't for everyone, but its target audience (namely, U2 fans) will love it, and will pay the extra AU$50 for it.

  • 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.

  • Toshiba gigabeat X30 (30GB)

    Slightly smaller and thinner than the original, the new Toshiba gigabeat X30 gives the overall effect being of a much sleeker unit than its predecessor.

  • Toshiba gigabeat X60

    Toshiba's gigabeat series of MP3 players is back with the X60, a 60GB music player that picks up from where last year's F60 left off.

  • JBL On Stage II iPod speakers

    The JBL On Stage II's new wireless remote makes these attractive iPod speakers even easier to use, but we're still disappointed by its bulky AC adapter and its lightweight bass response.

Features

  • Sing a rainbow: colourful MP3 players

    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.

  • Apple iPod retrospective

    We take you through the time line of every Apple iPod model.

  • 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.

  • MP3 players with large screens

    MP3 players with monster screens. Watch movies! View photos! Scare the dickens out of the iPod Shuffle with these big-screen players.
