I came across this today while I was browsing. The Sony NW-HD5 Network Walkman is now available to purchase at Amazon for $299.99. This 20GB player is good for 40 hours of playback and plays MP3, ATRAC3, and ATRAC3plus. The player has in interesting feature that switches the orientation of the screen and buttons automatically when you turn the player sideways. The NW-HD5 is also considerably smaller than the iPod. Check out our Sony HD5 review.

About that complete Wanker who wrote the review about the Sony MEX-1GP.

Yes the MEX-1GP has good capabilities as an MP3 player when the faceplate is connected to the main DIN unit, but what is the point in having an in-built battery and headphone jack to make it a a portable unit?

Doing that would make it the largest MP3 player in the WORLD!, when it only has 1 Gb of memory, which is plenty enough for the car, but not much good as a portable MP3 player!

Think again Dickhead!

This is a great, and i mean TRULY GREAT MP3 player for the CAR. But will never be a portable, so why not grow up and gain a little knowlege and common sense and some braun power while you are at it!

SanDisk Sansa Clip

The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.
Samsung P3

The Samsung P2 was a success and the P3 is a very welcome and substantial update. Samsung has paid close attention to users on P2 issues and made great strides in addressing and improving most of them. The best feature of the P3 is its native video support. Most content you thow at it will playback without conversion on the great looking screen. Stop by the Samsung P3 forums for more details or check out our indepth P3 review.

Cowon iAudio D2

The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.
Phonak Audéo PFE

Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely.
