| The Bottom Line | Eight months after its announcement, the Creative Zen PMC is finally here. Despite its bulk, the player is solid, but it's the Microsoft Portable Media Center software that deserves most of the praise. | The Philips Portable Media Center PMC7230 is a stylish device with lots of potential, but it's not as impressive as we expected. | The Creative Zen Vision, a dazzling but occasionally frustrating personal media player, handles video and music with aplomb, all for a tantalizingly low price. | With its maddening interface, its missing features, and a lack of video content sources, the PMP-120 needs to go back to the drawing board. | 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. |
