Reviews

  • iRiver Clix

    Think of pop queen Pink's unique combo of sass, good looks and smarts. The iRiver Clix is the portable audio equivalent.

  • Toshiba gigabeat S30

    Those turned off by previous gigabeat players' messy interface should take a look at this Portable Media Center model, which shows a huge improvement in the usability stakes.

  • 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.

  • Apple iPod (updated fifth generation, 80GB)

    The new "enhanced" iPod looks like a tremendous improvement over the last one, with a brighter screen and better battery life.

  • Philips GoGear SA1100 (512MB)

    It's cheap and simple, but doesn't pretend to be anything else. The SA1100 could be an option for you if you're not fussed about features beyond song playback and voice recording.

  • SanDisk Sansa c150 (2GB)

    The c150 is SanDisk's latest attempt to bust open the flash-based MP3 player market.

  • Toshiba gigabeat flash (512MB)

    Not content to stay in the hard drive MP3 player space, Toshiba has introduced some flash-based players into its product mix.

  • Toshiba gigabeat X30 (30GB)

    Slightly smaller and thinner than the original, the new Toshiba gigabeat X30 gives the overall effect being of a much sleeker unit than its predecessor.
