ipod nano ; the clear winner

Advantages: good quality music player
Disadvantages: battery life

i got bought this ipod for my birthday , i reckon and it's one of the best things i've ever been bought! i got bought the 8gb , which was enough room to get over 1000 songs and from my point of view , was enough to fit all my songs in i think that the battery life may not be that good , as you have to charge is ever 2 days but if you turn the settings down , like the brightness and black light you wont have to charge as much from my point of view ...

Review of Apple IPOD NANO (4.GEN.)

Great device when you´re on the move!

Advantages: Good screen, large storage space, nice case
Disadvantages: Menus slow to navigate

...this to replace my old vosonic VP6230 drive, as the battery life was getting poor and it only had an 80GB hard drive. The VP8860 takes up to a 500GB drive, which is what mine is fitted with. Compared to my old drive, the screen is fantastic - 4.3 inches. It´s got a larger range of functions, though I can´t say that I find it very easy to navigate the menus. It weighs around 450g. The drive´s main function is to backup and store files and photos. ...
...a SD/MMC card slot. The system for doing this is fairly straightforward - a prompt comes up when you put the card in, asking you whether you want to back-up or not, and cards are then backed up to the backup folder. The drive can also be connected to a computer via USB. I found this drive considerably quicker at backing up my SD cards than the older drive, and copying files to and from a computer hard drive is also fairly quick. It slows down a lot ...

Review of Vosonic VP8860

The best yet

Advantages: Simple and easy to use, well designed, small and lightweight, excellent sound quality
Disadvantages: None

I already own an Apple Ipod (classic version with a high capacity) and love having my high capacity Ipod but was looking into getting something smaller and lighter for if I am going out to exercise or if I am travelling to meet mates for a night out as I love to listen to music on my way to these nights out but also want a player which I can put in a pocket and not have to worry about weighing me down or being too obvious to others so I picked up ...
...trip up to my nearest Apple store. After purchasing the player the first thing I was struck with was the sleek design which makes this a very small player and extremely lightweight. The player like all of the Apple Ipods feels very well made and once you charge the player up and switch this on you see the quality in the player through the fanstastic screen which shows brilliantly bright and clear information making th menus easier than ever. The ...

Review of Apple iPod Nano 4 GB 4th Generation

Zen Mozaic Review

Advantages: Lightweight, good sound from the speaker, nice user interface
Disadvantages: sometimes laggy, not great video quality

This is a great little device, it is one of the lightest mp3 players ever and the little speaker in the back is pretty loud. The whole device seems relatively well built, albeit a little plasticky. You would think that the buttons on the front would start to wobble around a bit after a bit of use, but they actually remain pretty sturdy. Let's start with the boot up. From holding the button down to the main screen opening it takes less that a mere ...
...user interface is very nice, with everything sliding onto the screen when certain buttons are pressed. You can easily click on music, then have it sorted by artist, song e.t.c. In the main music menu, you get quite a nice slideshow of all your album covers. When you select a song to play, it comes up with details of the song and a faint image of the album cover, if available. It would be nicer if the album cover was solid, and right in the center ...

Review of Creative ZEN Mozaic 4 GB

A NICE LITTLE NUMBER

Advantages: fantastic sound, expandable memoery
Disadvantages: Not very intuitive, USB cable provided far too short

This is a wonderful little player, miles better than the ipod as it has a built in FM radio plus you can expand its memory till your heart's contect via any SD card. It plays most file types and the sound quality as well as FM reception even on a moving train is outstanding. Videos have superb quality and the screen is reasonable in size. The phone cord acts a a very sensitive aerial and is long enough to improve recption even in the heart of the ...
...screen capability but for me the ability to expand memory via an SD card and to be able to listen to FM radio more than compensates for this. A clever accesory is a charger (supplied separately) that enables you to switch from one plug to another as you travel from country to country. ...
