Creative Zen Vision review

Reviews The Windows Media Player integration is seamless, and it has support for both DivX and XviD video, but until people can record video directly from their TV or digibox, these devices just won't become mainstream.

Cowon Q5W review

Reviews IM or BitTorrent client working on here easily -- it's an excessively-capable media player, not a Web browser and media portal like the iPod touch or the Archos 605 WiFi. But with prices starting at a whopping £400, this South Korean media player...

Archos 604 review

Reviews On a PC, you can also transfer media files over using Windows Media Player 10's sync function. It is compatible with a wide range of popular file formats in all three media -- but you'll need to connect it to a computer in order to move files over.

Goodmans X-Pro GPDR40 review

Reviews The X-Pro is not alone in its funk, all Microsoft-endorsed handheld media players insist on using Windows Media Player (WMV). Handheld media players are still in the uncomfortable stages of teenage angst.

Elonex Artisan review

Reviews Make your Media Center PC look like a DVD player and you've got a much better chance of getting through the door and into the TV cabinet. Most functions on the Artisan are accessed through the generic Media Center remote control Microsoft provides...

Archos 605 WiFi review

Reviews Media player functions are painless, and the transitions and slide shows through image libraries were impressive. The Nokia N95 springs to mind on the phone front, and the iPod in the media player camp, but neither of them can play video or browse...

iRiver E100 review

Reviews In addition, songs bought on Napster will play when synced with Windows Media Player. At its core, the E100 is an MP3 player that'll also handle OGG, WMA, FLAC and ASF files, though no Windows Media Lossless.
