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.

  • Sony Ericsson W595 Walkman

    This is a solid phone, aside from its lack of a real headphone socket. But if you're expecting anything radically new, you might want to wait a little while for Sony Ericsson to start innovating before you upgrade.

  • Philips SoundBar HTS8140

    If you're looking for a discrete budget system as equally at home with music as it is with movies then they don't come much better than the Philips SoundBar HTS8140.

  • Creative Zen X-Fi 16GB

    The Creative Zen X-Fi is finally here, and while it fits in the pocket and sound quality is excellent, the iPod Touch is still a superior product.

  • Motorola MOTOROKR EQ5 Portable Wireless Speaker

    The Motorola EQ5 portable wireless speakers aren't perfect but they're a solid accompaniment to a Motorola Rokr E8 mobile phone.

  • Nokia MD-6

    Shaped like a giant stick of lipstick or the butt of a Star Wars lightsaber, the MD-6 flips open to reveal stereo speakers which deliver quite a big sound for such a small package.

  • Life! LXPI (4GB)

    The first player from Australian brand Life! has a laundry list of features, but video sync issues and teeny touchscreen controls hold it back.

  • Samsung YP-S5 (2GB)

    The S5 takes Samsung's touch-button, speaker-enabled K5 and slims it down. We like it, but what's with the mutant earphones?
