Review Summary |
The D2 is a great portable video player for those looking for a PDA-like interface. It's a brilliant performer and should satisfy most users. |
Despite a few minor issues, the stylish Samsung YP-T9 is a no-brainer: It's easy to use, packed with features, and sounds fantastic. What more could you ask for? |
Solid in all aspects, Sony has churned out a winner in the form of this feature-packed noise-canceling player. |
The feature-packed and swell-sounding Cowon iAudio U3 may ooze cool as one of the smallest PVPs, but its lack of DRM support, its somewhat tricky controls, and its high price tag spoil the party. |
The Samsung YP-K5 is a unique MP3 player with a fun interface and great sound quality; it may be bulky around the middle, but it's an excellent choice if you want to share your tunes at the drop of a dime. |
