Recently we reviewed Creative's MuVo flash MP3 player and praised its minute size and stripped-down simplicity, which we felt more than compensated for the lack of frills like an LCD display. It made us think about ...

Like the Creative MuVo reviewed recently on this site, the Cardmedia PenDrive + MP3 combines a portable MP3 player with a removable storage flash memory drive. It's a sensible combination, since many MP3 players use flash ...

We had to think for a minute about the right word to describe the Creative MuVo. It's small - exceedingly small, in fact - and it's undeniably clever, useful, wearable, losable, nickable and desirable. But most ...

The Rio range of MP3 players, now made by SonicBlue, virtually invented the solid-state music player market and are still the devices to which most others are compared. The new Rio Sport S30S (and S35S - ...

Digital Audio and MP3 players are still mainly youth products and player manufacturers feel they have to attract buyers as much by appearance as by the technology itself. Samsung has just introduced the typographically-challenged Yepp (they ...

As well as providing the hardware for the Nike player, Rio has produced a new MP3 player itself, in the form of the Rio 600. This is a follow up to its market-leading 500 device (reviewed ...
