Reviews

  • Archos 605

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

  • 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.

  • Archos 404

    The attractively priced Archos 404 is a PVP in an MP3 player's body. If you want a better screen and a removable battery, spend a bit more for the wider 604.

  • Novonde NV-15

    The Novonde NV-15 PMP offers a lot of functionality above what you'd expect from a personal media player, but the implementation and results are less than spectacular.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Features

  • Best hard-disk MP3 players

    Far from being dinosaurs, hard drive MP3 players are perfect for both budding Glenn A. Bakers and those with a penchant for viewing videos on the go. We pick the best.

  • 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.

  • MP3 players that play video

    Portable video players are hogging the headlines right now, but Apple's latest iPod is certainly not the only device in town.
