Reviews

  • Archos 5

    If you can afford it and want the best combination of Web access and outstanding video performance, this is one of the only players in the world you need to consider, despite its flaws.

  • Apple iPod Touch (2nd generation)

    If you've been holding back, now is the time: the second-gen Touch is an excellent media player, and the addition of third-party apps extends the fun for everyone, no matter where your interests lie.

  • SanDisk Sansa Fuze

    Hey there, Nano killer! The Sansa Fuze has its sights set on Apple's skinny player, but comes up a little short. Still, with its extra features and ease of use, it's one to put on the shortlist.

  • Samsung A411

    The A411 looks decidedly retro-styled, but as an entry-level Next G phone it performs surprisingly well.

  • Creative Zen Stone

    Creative's pebble-like Zen Stone takes on the iPod Shuffle. It has a lower price and better sound but lacks the brand aura and tactility of the Shuffle.

  • ASUS W5Fe

    Well built and mostly comfortable to use. Whether you'll find SideShow, is a matter of individual taste. If so, it's the perfect Vista laptop; if not, there are cheaper and better alternatives.

  • Nokia 5300 XpressMusic

    The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic phone works well as a music player — a larger memory card would be useful — but achieves relatively average results as a phone.

  • MPIO FL500 (512MB)

    The FL500 offers analog style for the digital generation, but its keys, knobs and dials failed to push our buttons.
