Samsung YP-T8Z Digital Audio Player [Review, overclockersonline]
In today's highly competitive digital media player market dominated
by Apple's iPod Samsung's YP-T8Z does an excellent job holding its ground.
Though not the 'iPod slayer', this feature- filled digital audio player
lives up to it's title as the all-in-one digital audio player with text,
pictures, videos, games, FM radio, and USB host support. Although Samsung's
YP-T8Z is priced relatively high in comparison to other flash storage based
media players the large 1.8" vibrant TFT screen and long battery life
justify it's price, after all features, usability and convenience add up
separating good products from superb products. Mon, 27 Feb, 2006 | 2 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Creative Zen Vision:M [Review, tbreak]
The sound quality on the Vision:M really stands out. We thought that the MicroPhoto produced
good quality output, however, the Vision:M certainly excels in this department and sounds
really really good. You also have the option of setting the five band equalizer to get the
output you like while Bass Boost provides a nice kick and smart volume takes card of those
sudden increases in sound levels when switching between audio tracks or watching a commercial
in the middle of your recorded TV show. Sat, 28 Jan, 2006 | 7 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Creative Labs Zen Nano Plus 512MB [Review, designtechnica]
The Creative Nano packs a ton of features in an incredibly tiny MP3 player. Creative included everything in the box that you’ll need to take this miniscule music toy out for a jog. While you will be stuck using an external battery charger and a mini USB cord to transfer music, these minor inconveniences shouldn’t deter most people from considering it a top-of-the-line MP3 player worthy of serious consideration.

Mp3 players- what should you look for? [Guide, rbmods]
I have worked at an Mp3 company before, (not to mention any names) and I have somewhat of an idea of what to look for when it comes to an mp3 player. I worked as support crew which gives me an idea what people are looking for in general. There are loads and loads of different players out there; Creative, Ipod, JOS, Sandisk, Iriver, Iaudio and tons of smaller companies that sell other generic mp3 players. They have all released an assortment of different players with different features, which leaves the consumer clueless as to what they should purchase. To start with I would recommend people going for USB2 on their mp3 players to be able to transfer the songs information, etc… to the player as fast as possible.

Editors' Top MP3 Players [Roundup, Cnet]
MP3 players have quickly gone from the early-adopter fringes to the mainstream, and the most common ones use flash memory to store music, data, and sometimes photo and video files. While you rarely get more than 1GB (or about 17 hours) worth of MP3s onto one of these players, they have distinct advantages over their hard drive counterparts: they're smaller and more affordable, and they don't skip a beat. We're beginning to see more flash players hit 2GB and above, the most notable being the 4GB Apple iPod Nano. Fri, 28 Oct, 2005 | 12 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

iPod nano [Review, HardwareZone]

Apple iPod Nano (2GB, white) [Review, Cnet]
Just when you thought Apple's standard iPod was overly saturating the public consciousness, Steve Jobs and company pull another beauty from the company's bushel. The Apple iPod Nano sets new standards for gadget design and stretches the boundaries of technology. It's the world's first 4GB flash player, yet it's also one of the thinnest. Plus, it boasts a bright color screen that takes advantage of the bigger iPod's photo capabilities. Throw in some ancillary improvements, and you have not only the latest MP3 player phenom but a glance into the future. The flash-based Nano (the name is curiously similar to the Creative Zen Nano Plus's) comes in classic white or black and two capacities: 2GB and 4GB at $199 and $249, respectively. It also replaces the current popular iPod Mini line. Thu, 22 Sep, 2005 | 6 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Apple iPod Nano - Mini review [Review, techsapience]
It is small. I know, unless you have been under a rock, you alread knew that. But until you have played with one for awhile, you can’t fully comprehend how small. I have had a 4th Gen 40GB iPod since it came out. It is one of the most wonderful devices. My wife has had an iPod Mini since it came out. It is a lot of punch (and storage) in a wonderfully small and tough package. Those are valid comments and truly how I felt before yesterday. Now what has changed since then? Has the Mini gotten bigger? Has the 4th Gen became less wonderful? I don’t think so, I think I am just twisted now that I have played with the Nano. The iPod Shuffle has been out for a while and it is small. But it isn’t the same. So being small must not be enough. You miss out on the iPod experience by not having some minor things (like a screen and a dock connector). Thu, 22 Sep, 2005 | 7 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Apple iPod nano 4GB [Review, everythingusb]
In a move that surprised everyone (and caught the rumor sites off-guard), Apple has replaced their entire line of iPod minis with a new player featuring Samsung's NAND Flash memory for storage. The result? An incredibly slim 4GB iPod nano boasting a vibrant color LCD display, longer battery life, and a few other tweaks to result in an extraordinary MP3 player. Let's take a look.

Apple iPod nano 4GB [Review, designtechnica]
Probably the sweetest part of the new Apple iPod nano is the surprise announcement that caught every site and publication off guard. Even the “insider” Apple fan sites missed this one coming. The second surprise is that Apple decided to replace their infamous iPod mini with a flash player with roughly the same storage space (the Apple iPod mini was originally introduced with 4GB of storage). It only make sense that Apple phases the mini out. Most 5GB players out now feature color displays, FM tuners and a myriad of features. Apple is clever to introduce a player with the same storage space as their mini, while using flash memory; it again puts the company back on top of the ingenuity chain.

Review: iPod nano [Review, macmerc]
The minute I heard about the iPod nano, I knew I couldn't look at my mini the same. I actually heard about it later than most of you, since I was on a flight to New York during the announcement. When I heard about it from the Engadget guys at a party that night, I quickly plotted a trip to the SoHo Apple Store the next morning. To my surprise they had no units, but I was able to pick one up at my local store this morning. Thu, 22 Sep, 2005 | 5 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
First Look: Apple's Dazzling iPod Nano [Review, PCWorld]
What you notice first about the iPod Nano, of course, is its size. It's tiny, sure, but that isn't all that unusual for flash memory players. What's really impressive about the Nano--and a real breakthrough for a lilliputian MP3 player--is its screen, a bright, crisp color display that makes navigating your tunes a breeze. However, size does matter, so let's start with that. Take a standard business card, rip off one-quarter of it lengthwise, and what you're left with is about the size of the player. The device weighs 1.5 ounces and measures about a quarter-inch thick--you can barely tell that you have the Nano in your shirt pocket.

Apple iPod Nano: 0.69cm Thick! [News, TrustedReviews]
With dimension of just 9 x 4 x 0.69cm and weighing just 42g, the Nano kills off the iPod mini and surprisingly few tears will be shed as it looks destined to become the next must-have Apple product. In additionb, despite its teeny size, the Nano still packs in a 3.81cm colour screen (capable of displaying photos and album art), 14 hours of battery life, comes in 2GB and 4GB Flash memory varieties and is built around the company’s industry leading ClickWheel interface. Love em or hate em, I think most have to agree this latest iPod looks pretty special. Thu, 08 Sep, 2005 | 6 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

SanDisk Sansa - MP3 Player [Review, TrustedReviews]
The market for standalone music players seems to be in three segments at the moment. There are multi-GB players on which you can store your entire music collection, small memory players designed for a few favourite tracks of the moment, and, sitting in between there are players of 512MB and 1GB which allow you to carry enough music for a weekend or even a week away.
