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.

Lexus IS250 Sports Luxury (2009)

What the IS250 lacks in badge snobbery, it makes up for in good looks, rock-solid quality, neat handling and serenity enough to becalm a frazzled monk. While stuffed with tech, it isn't quite as up-to-date as we'd have liked.

Reviews

  • 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.

  • Creative Zen Stone Plus with Speaker

    The built-in speaker may have few real-life applications, but it makes room for a more capacious battery, and it takes nothing away. For that reason, and because of its tiny price, great feature set and FM radio, we think it's top notch.

  • Archos 605

    The Archos 605 Wi-Fi portable video player is one of the best mobile distractions money can buy.

  • Creative Zen Vision:W

    The bulky but easy-to-use Creative Zen Vision:W and its nice screen will dazzle video lovers who don't require video recording.

  • Sony Ericsson MDS-70

    If you're looking for a decent speaker system to accompany your Walkman phone, there are few better options than the Sony Ericsson HDS-70 home audio system. Although its bulk limits its portability, it offers great sound quality and attractive features.

  • Gear4 HouseParty II

    You probably couldn't get the HouseParty II to get the whole house rockin', but as a standalone dock and mid-range speaker solution it's pleasantly easy to use.

  • Topfield TFP20

    As a portable media player, the Topfield TFP20 is one of the most fully featured and best-performing units currently out in Australia.

  • Creative TravelDock Zen Micro

    For Zen Micro owners, the Creative TravelDock Zen is an attractive, compact way to showcase your player, although its performance has some shortcomings.
