Sony PSP Go
We love its slimmer, sexier, more pocket-friendly shape, as well as its pause and restore anywhere feature, but the PSP Go doesn't quite add enough to the mix to justify its price tag.
-
Samsung Omnia Icon
Its excellent multimedia support, storage and gorgeous display make the Omnia better for people who put pleasure before business.
-
Netgear EVA9150

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
Nokia may have been late to the touchscreen party but we like what it's finally delivered; a responsive, full-featured phone with some deal-making extras.

Samsung F480

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.

-
Sony NWZ-A728 Walkman (8GB)
Sony's new batch of Walkmans looks lovely and we're happy to see the end of SonicStage, but the features are a little bland compared to competitors' models.
