TomTom iPod Touch car kit

Reviews

Grundig DAB+ Micro System

For audiophiles on a budget, Grundig has released its first DAB+ Micro System, which the company is claiming is also one of the first speakers in Australia to combine digital radio in a Micro system.
Sony Walkman B Series (NWZ-B143F)

It has none of the elegance of the iPod Shuffle, but it's cheaper and has a built-in screen, FM radio and recording capabilities. Minor concerns aside, the NWZ-B142F is a good performer with an attractive price tag.
Creative Zen MX

Creative's latest player may have some drawbacks, but it still is a strong contender that provides great value for money.
Philips GoGear Mix (4GB)

The GoGear Mix is exactly what people are looking for in an MP3 player. It's easy to load with music, simple to operate and a pleasure to listen to.
Philips GoGear Aria (8GB)

The GoGear Aria may be cheaper than a comparable iPod Nano, but it's leagues behind in terms of quality.
Philips DC350 iPod Dock

The DC350 features a wide-range of connectivity options, but is far too expensive for the low quality sound it produces.
Philips GoGear Opus

The slow interface probably kills what would have been an excellent player with decent format support and great sound quality.
Altec Lansing Orbit iM237

We like the new and improved version of Altec Lansing's portable single speaker, the Orbit MP3, better than the previous model, but it costs a bit more.
