Reviews

  • Apple iPod Touch (3rd generation, 32GB)

    Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.

  • Apple iPod Classic 160GB

    The iPod Classic refines the formula that put the iPod on the map. Few can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life and intuitive user interface.

  • Harman Kardon Go + Play

    The Harman Kardon Go + Play is one of the best-sounding portable iPod speaker systems you can buy, but its high price and lack of compatibility with recent iPod models make it a limited recommendation.

  • Cowon O2 (32GB)

    The O2 is a solid player, offering impressive video and sound quality and support for a massive list of filetypes.

  • Sony PSP-3000

    With its impressive game library, lower price and expanded feature set, it's certainly a much better deal than the original PSP — and it's even better than the PSP 2000. While its media and online functions won't necessarily replace a dedicated AV device or laptop, it will be good for most portable gaming and multimedia needs.

  • Samsung YP-T10

    Samsung's super-cute player has several enchanting features — including a dancing dog — but its touch-sensitive controls can be temperamental.

  • Archos 705 Wi-Fi

    The Archos 705 WiFi is the biggest, baddest PVP on the market. What you get in screen size, however, you pay for in portability and picture quality.

  • Samsung Widescreen

    The wow-factor of mobile TV aside; the Samsung Widescreen is an underachiever that sacrifices basic phone functions for all the glamour Telstra's Next G network has to offer.
