As I've said before, getting a MP3 player is only half the battle - the other half is getting content. Music is of course the main use for any player but there are other alternatives, like audio books and podcasts. In this new article series I'll be presenting a podcast every article which I find to be worthy of a mention. It's often difficult to navigate the jungle of podcasts out there, with some podcasts not being in production anymore, others being recently abandoned and so on. First off is my personal favorite, Mobile Tech Roundup.

Mobile Tech Roundup is a podcast done on a "random-weekly" basis (meaning normally every week but no specific schedule) by James Kendrick and Kevin Tofel from jkOnTheRun and Matt Miller from ZDNet. The content of the podcast is naturally mobile tech, be it laptops and cell phones or MP3 players. They discuss the news, new products and other related topics and each show last about 35 minutes. It's a nice way to keep up with the latest in tech and they also review a lot of products which they talk about on the show. Check out the show on the official site.

From time to time it is good to try something new, and a couple of the 'casts I listen to now are getting a little stale.... I'll look forward to this. Thanks!

I was trying podcasts long time ago and didn't find anything interesting, so thanks for this one!

That is a good Webcast but I prefer TWIT.TV for Tech Podcasts

There is
*This Week In Tech- a Panel tech discussion of whats new
* The Tech Guy-Leo Laporte a 2 hour long tech cast based on anything with a chip

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.
Microsoft Zune 120

Sure, many of us are not big fans of the walled garden, but there are a lot of great things going on with the Zune- sturdy hardware, ultra easy to use user interface, and a media player that is worthy of editor’s choice. The best part of the Zune is the constant firmware and software updates virtually giving you a new device at each major refresh. You can check out the latest Zune 120 & 16 review or stop by our Zune forums for the latest.
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.
