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. |
On paper, the S-540 series looks almost similar to the E-440 series, albeit with a larger screen and a pair of speakers built into the back. We were impressed by how much volume the two tiny speakers could throw out, and thatÂ’s what makes the S-540 unique in its own way. |
Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod touch still leaves its competitors in the dust. |
While it is not a drastic improvement over the older E-430, the E-440 offers more audio enhancements such as Dynamic Normalizer and Clear Audio Technology (consisting of Clear Stereo and Clear Bass). Overall, it's a solid player that pushes all the right buttons, but there's no outstanding feature. |
