Reviews

Cowon D2+

The Cowon D2+ is a sturdy little touchscreen MP3 player with flexible sound enhancement settings and useful features, but it hasn't changed much from the 2007 version.
iRiver P7

The iRiver P7 is like a beautifully crafted concept car with a frustrating lack of horsepower, but the price is compelling.
Samsung i8

Aimed at amateurs, the Samsung i8 is a user-friendly digital camera with strong multimedia functionality and helpful how-to guides. Slow performance and the sometimes frustrating logic of the main menu will mean this is probably one to skip unless you're interested in the bare basics.
Cowon iAudio A3 (60GB)

With its unrivalled screen and codec support, its direct recording capabilities and its ability to playback DVD video files without transcoding, Cowon's A3 is a well-priced behemoth for portable video lovers.
Archos 405

Though it lacks the features of the Archos 605, the 405 maintains the company's reputation for making high-quality portable video and music players.
iRiver Clix (2nd generation)

The 2nd gen iRiver Clix offers the perfect blend of hot design, desirable features, and stellar sound quality. If you're looking for an alternative to the iPod Nano, this device should top the list.
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.
