A fairly average MP3 player. If you want an audio device that doubles as a voice recorder this might be a good choice but there isn't much else that really pushes this above the competition.

It’s a little on the pricey side, but the TuneFlex’s adjustable steel neck ensures your iPod will be in the best position possible and it also offers a line-out jack and dock connector for extra accessories.

If you own a Harman Kardon receiver and an iPod, you should run out and buy this now. For the rest of us, you can just hope more products like this become available.

This is a fantastic unit with surprisingly good audio quality. Apart from some minor control issues, the TuneBase FM’s unique flexible neck ensures it is ahead of the competition.

If your main concern in a media player is video, we'd recommend looking elsewhere; but if you want a sleek all-rounder that will easily fit your pocket, the iRiver U10 is hard to pass up. Compact and well-made, this is a versatile if pricey effort.

There is nothing special about the P7004 making it consistent with most low end portable DVD players.

As iPod imitators go, you aren’t likely to see a more convincing copy, apart from the fact it barely works

The 512MA9BL is not a great Mp3 player by any means but compared to its competitors it is both cheap and above average in performance.

The Topfield TFP20 is an exceptional portable media player and considering this is their first foray into this field they are to be highly commended.

It’s a little pricey, but the B200 should certainly do the job, as long as you don’t want to share your recordings, nor rename them.

The sound quality isn’t the greatest, but if you want a system to carry your music around then the included backpack and unique rubberised case may be of some interest.

This is the closest you'll get to an iPod killer. Its features are well implemented and designed and the end result is a fantastic MP3 player that perhaps just falls short due to the moody controls. A definite winner in our books.
