Five years of CNET Australia: MP3 players

CNET Australia didn't leave its mark on Australia's cyber landscape until 2004, by then the iPod had well and truly become the MP3 player of choice throughout the developed world. Here's looking back on five fabulous musical years.

Sony Ericsson W995

The W995 under-performs where it counts. The screen is small and of a low-resolution, the web browser doesn't inspire web browsing, and worst of all, the W995 is just too expensive.

Reviews

  • Samsung B2700

    If the two main features you need in a phone are a decent media player and convenient calling, then the B2700 won't disappoint.

  • Palm Pre

    With webOS, Palm goes past matching its competitors and offers something more. The Pre might not be a home run, but it is an indication of good things to come.

  • Motorola H780 Bluetooth Headset

    The H780 features a simple, discreet design and solid performance, but is a little expensive for what you get.

  • Nokia WH-500 hands-free headset

    Nokia's WH-500 is a decent, if expensive, hands-free headset, but we wouldn't recommend them to someone looking for a set of good sounding headphones.

  • Cowon S9

    The Cowon S9 is a sexy-looking gadget with exceptional audio and video quality, but its construction quality and user interface pale in comparison to the competition.

  • Samsung F480

    The F480 looks like an Omnia, works like an iPhone and may be the best phone for accessing Next G services, like Foxtel TV.

  • Jabra BT530 with USB Adapter

    Good looks and solid performance come at a price. If you don't intend to make use of the bundled USB adapter we suggest you look at cheaper alternatives.

  • 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.
