| The Bottom Line | The Archos 605 WiFi portable video player is one of the best mobile distractions money can buy. | The second-generation iPod Touch includes features that are light-years ahead of the competition, its design has improved, and its price has finally come down to earth. | The Archos 5 boasts an improved screen size, image resolution, and sound quality over its predecessor, but its Web browser and Flash media playback are disappointing for a product marketed on the strength of its Internet media capabilities. | The Cowon O2 isn't flashy, but it's an incredible value for a convenient way to take your video library on the go without the hassle of converting files. | The bulky but easy-to-use Creative Zen Vision W and its nice screen will dazzle video lovers who don't require video recording. | Basic specs |
