Apparently this is Sony Walkman A845 thinnest media player to date, but we can’t say that attribute particularly inspired us. We were, however, pleased by the construction, which gives the A-series a quality feel which devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Player 50 sorely lack even though both are made of plastic. Although we are [...]
When it was announced last year, Cowon’s X7 touchscreen media player was set to be an Android device, with all the advantages and support associated with Google’s mobile operating system. Unfortunately, the promise of Android never materialised, and the X7 has been released with its own user interface, with a few basic widgets that let [...]
This Sony MZ-N505 was my 5th portable mini disc player from sony. They’ve all been great but sadly 1 got stolen and the other 2 i had to sell to friends because i needed the money! But i have bought this one twice now. Whilst looking for a cheap MDor Mp3 player to take on [...]
The SwiMP3 is a unique MP3 player. The manufacturer, Finis, specialises in aquatic equipment, and its player is completely waterproof. It also has some clever features that make underwater listening possible. To get round the problem of transmitting sound through water, it uses the bones of the skull to conduct sound to the ear. Two [...]
The Nomad II MG’s built-in 64 MB memory means you won’t have to invest in additional memory immediately. If you do decide you need more playing time, you can choose from SmartMedia cards in a range of sizes and prices. The tiny cards easily slide into the back of the player and require no configuration [...]
Creative’s Zen X-Fi 2 bears more than a passing resemblance to the iPod Touch with its metal back and large touchscreen, but is designed to be held horizontally instead of vertically. Unfortunately, the touchscreen is extremely aggravating to use. It’s quite sensitive but also very inaccurate, making it far too easy to choose the wrong [...]
The latest version of Philips’ GoGear Muse is a touchscreen MP3 player with a 3.2in 320×480 display. It has 16GB of storage, excellent audio format support and the ability to play 720p HD video and output it via a mini-HDMI port. There’s also an FM radio, an SDHC card slot for extra storage, a built-in [...]
We’ve always liked Sandisk’s Sansa MP3 players, with their no-frills combination of a simple interface, low prices and great audio quality. With the Fuze+, Sandisk has revamped its popular Fuze MP3 player by adding touchpad controls. Unfortunately, the new control system is so poorly designed that it seriously detracts from what would otherwise be a [...]
You know the story by now. For many, the iPod Touch is the iPhone without the phone and GPS features–no cellular voice calls, no texting, and no EDGE or 3G wireless service. The remaining features that the two have in common (or lack) are often the criteria on which the Touch is judged. In the [...]

Additionally, you can enjoy a built-in microphone for recording voice. The Sansa Clip comes with a built-in rechargeable battery [...]
