It's the year 2008, and the CD has almost gone bust. All music, photos and
videos are now either on a PC or on a portable media player. Making the wrong
choice can ruin your entertainment experience. Plus, these devices are just so
personal. To help you make the right choice for your needs, here are some
recommendations.
1 Sandisk Sansa Clip (2GB@Rs 2k) - Has a lot of features, and is a
steal at this price.
2 Philips SA2825 (2GB@Rs 3k)- Resembles a pendant and is a perfect
mate for your morning jogs.
3 Creative Zen Stone (2GB@Rs 3.5k)- Looks like a cute little pebble
but sounds great too.
4 Cowon iAudio7 (4GB@Rs 5.5k)- Excellent sound reproduction and touch
sensitive controls.
5 Sony NWZ-S616F (4GB@Rs 7k)- Featherweight design and great sound.
6 Apple iPod Nano Chromatic (8GB@Rs 9k)- The 4th gen Nano features an
accelerometer among others.
7 Creative ZenX-Fi (8GB@Rs 13.5k)- The X-Fi does some magic to make
low bit rate MP3s sound better.
8 Sandisk Sansa View (16GB@Rs 12k)- SanDisk pulls off a “Nano” in
design and form factor.
9 Apple iPod Touch (16GB@Rs 19k)- Slimmer than ever, the iPod Touch
now also features a speaker.
10 Cowon A3 (60GB@Rs 18k)- The Cowon A3 supports almost every media
format you can think of .
