Advantages: sound quality, small, sleek, battery life

...a lot of reviews on Sony products and decided to go for them instead. I'm very glad now that I did. The player is of an average size for an 8GB player, being small and sleek. The menus are very straight forward as the layout is like the one of a mobile phone. There is no click wheel but the navigation is very easy and practical as the scrolling is based on search through the alphabetical order. This great gadget works straight out the box and I never ...
...navigate through and work out the buttons that you'll be enjoying your favourite tunes in no time. This player supports CD cover art and any music can be dragged and dropped in. Do not confuse this model (A818) with earlier models as those models DO NOT have a drag and drop feature.

Advantages: Easy to use, nice looking, stylish and it works well!
Disadvantages: So far: only complaint is the pouch could be bigger

I bought my Sansa e260 about six weeks ago having absolutely no idea why I should have one or how to use one, my son informed me I needed one as I travel quite a bit and can't always use my little radio. So when this little beauty arrived I was overjoyed. It is so easy to use, even for a 50-odd year old!, A lovely blue scroll wheel and clear bright screen. I have downloaded a couple of videos, some photos and a few CD's so far and have loads of space ...
...being a little larger or having a velcro flap to keep it in it. All in all, love it, glad my son told me I needed one as now I won't be without it. It is a good buy compared to the Apple Ipod which I also looked at briefly - but decided it was too expensive. I also have no problems with the earpieces, they are fine. ... Read review

Advantages: wifi, great screen, internet browser, media streamer
Disadvantages: hidden costs for plug ins

I ordered my Archos 605 80gb wifi from curry's digital and went to collect in store. After the first charge which takes forever using the supplied usb connector (48 hours for the charge light to flash fully charged) I was ready to start using my player. One of the first things i discovered is that to get maximum usefulness out of the 605 you will need to hand over more of your hard earn cash. these include cinema plug ins, web browser around 20 ...
...it will fit. The provided archos case is a little lame but helps protect the screen from scratches and provides storage for a single stylus. Overall I am pleased with my purchase, the archos is ideal for me as a personal media player, Media station for streaming onto my Tv and as portable Internet browser. Though as i said at the beginning the second two of those function's have cost me in addition to my purchase price. ... Read review

...He referred to the black Samsung as white and kept talking about the firmware update. Said it can be used as an MP3 player but then corrected him by saying it can be connected to the MP3 player. Mentioned about blue way but I don't know what that is The presenter gave a very good comparison study of the new features of the product. He was able to demonstrate what he was saying. I wonder why any one would use this product instead of a mobile ... Read review
