Editors' Choice
There were so many different types of devices in this roundup that it was a bit confusing at first to work out which was going to take out the honours. In the end we decided that there would be three different categories: Pocket MP3, Portable MP3, and High Density MP3.
The winner in the Pocket MP3 category is the Creative Nomad IIc. It provides great value, is easy to use and has a good overall mix of features. A Merit Award in this category goes to the Iomega HipZip, with its great looks, ease of use and low priced removable media.
In the Portable MP3 category, it was a simple decision. The Exonion from MPZOO is a clear winner. The combination of ease to use, good earphones and FIF make it the winner all the way.
If you want some big, online storage,(High Density MP3), you can't go past the Creative Nomad Jukebox, especially combined with the PlayDock. We have had this little gem sitting around in the Testlab pumping out our favourite tunes all week. It combines a good user interface, great features and 6GB of MP3 Storage.
One anomaly in the whole equation was the Kodak MC3, which deserves a Merit Award simply for its broad range of features and excellent price.
