The Belkin iPod & MP3 backpack does exactly what the name implies, with fair-to-middling effect. It might not be the ideal way to carry your iPod, but it definitely beats those fashion-tragic arm straps that joggers like to wear.

The i-Ballroom has a couple of nice features and its design is quite attractive. In the end though, lacklustre sound and poor build quality let it down

The TMR-BT10 is a convenient device, but its asking price is a little steep

The SRS-BTM30 produces average sound, but it's well-styled and offers the convenience of a wireless connection to an audio player.

For the price, we really can't complain about the Xa-10. This compact, flat panel set of speakers that will do the job for those who aren't too fussed about sound quality.

The SportCommand is ideal for those wanting to use an iPod during sporting activities, but its high price and a few other issues prevent it from being a great product.

While it is a bit of a niche product, the SanDisk V-Mate is good at what it does

You'll pay a premium, but the Radial offers quality sound, an excellent remote control and a weird but attractive design. An excellent portable speaker system on the whole.

The Creative Labs TravelSound PoPz is inexpensive and has reasonable sound quality but it's hampered by a low volume output.

In a sea of portable iPod speaker systems, the i-P22 somewhat differentiates itself with great sound quality, making it a good choice to throw in the car and bring out on the road.

It lacks some of the features of its predecessor, but the TuneCast 3 has improved on sound quality, signal strength and ease of use, making it one of the better FM transmitters we've reviewed.

This is a well-designed speaker system that can also act as a dock. However, its sound quality doesn't match its sleek look. The lack of a remote control, hard to press buttons and poor sound quality at higher volume levels means users should give this a miss.
