Reviews

iRiver Lplayer (8GB)

The iRiver Lplayer is a very likeable player with a decent feature set and an ideal choice for anyone seeking a small and simple MP3 player for music. The best reason to choose it is its small size and intuitive navigation system.
Life! LXPI (4GB)

The first player from Australian brand Life! has a laundry list of features, but video sync issues and teeny touchscreen controls hold it back.
Creative MuVo T200 (4GB)

It's tough trying to live up to your older sibling. Just ask Creative's MuVo T200, which struggles to match the company's Zen Stone on every spec.

Apple iPhone

Despite some flaws, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated phone and MP3 player.
