Genius G-shot HD520 review

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:01:02 +0000

For £90 or thereabouts, you can't expect to get the pinnacle of video-capture performance, so it's no surprise that the G-shot HD520's 720p footage isn't the best we've ever clapped eyes on. But it's packed with features and worth a look for those who just want to capture the moment

Philips GoGear Muse review

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 09:35:02 +0000

The GoGear Muse is Philips' best portable media player to date, featuring a number of enhancements over previous models, including a redesigned user interface and slicker design. It doesn't offer the best audio quality we've ever heard, but its format support is hard to beat

Apple iPod touch (3rd gen, 64GB) review

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:06:02 +0000

Apple's third-generation iPod touch may lack a camera, but it's the best portable media player that you can currently get your hands on. As well as sporting a number of useful new features, such as voice control, a faster processor means it performs even more smoothly than before

Digital Vision GiGo review

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 14:09:01 +0000

The GiGo Freeview personal video recorder doesn't have the best build quality you'll ever encounter and it's a fairly ugly piece of kit. But it does what it does -- recording programmes to USB storage -- very well, and will appeal to those who want to take their TV out and about

Iomega eGo Leather Portable Hard Drive review

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:22:01 +0000

The 250GB Iomega eGo Leather Portable Hard Drive is a worthwhile alternative to the plethora of more mundane-looking devices on the market. Although its read and write times aren't anything to shout about, it looks great and you can drop it repeatedly without worrying that it'll stop working

Sony Walkman NWZ-X1050 (X series) review

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 16:59:02 +0000

The Sony Walkman NWZ-X1050 is a pricy portable media player, but it offers some distinct advantages over its rivals. Chief among them are its effective on-board noise-cancelling technology, excellent OLED touchscreen and truly fantastic audio quality. But is it better than the iPod touch?

LaCie LaCinema Black Record review

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 14:43:02 +0000

The LaCinema Black Record media streamer with built-in Freeview PVR and a 500GB or 1TB hard drive is a slick-looking piece of kit, with an attractive user interface to match. LaCie may need to iron out a few flaws with firmware updates, but this device makes recording TV a simple process

Microsoft Zune HD preview

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 13:07:01 +0000

The Zune HD looks like a real threat to the iPod touch. With an 84mm OLED touchscreen, high-definition radio tuner, and high-definition video playback via a dock accessory, it offers features that Apple's device can't yet match. It also looks like it might be cheaper

iriver P7 review

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 16:16:02 +0000

With its sleek aluminium body and large screen, the gorgeous iriver P7 touchscreen portable media player looks like it belongs in a modern art museum. The included PC software isn't great, but the unique touchscreen interface makes for a refreshing change and the P7's audio capabilities are good

Samsung YP-P3 review

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 10:33:01 +0000

It's not a stretch to say the touchscreen YP-P3 is an audiophile's portable media player. It sounds stellar, packs an enormous amount of features into a compact package and boasts a gorgeous display. The user interface might take a while to get used to, but there's very little to complain about really
