iRiver Portable Video Players (PVPs)

The Bottom Line: Until Iriver lowers the price on the Spinn, it will remain a luxury portable media player best suited to an early adopter with a penchant for unique gadgets and a library of lossless music.

Specs: Digital AV player, AMOLED

The Bottom Line: The iRiver Clix is a superbly designed MP3 player that's easy to use and packed with pretty much every feature in the book. If you're looking for a stylish Janus-compatible device and you don't need a boatload of storage, this is your player.

Specs: Digital AV player, 2.7 in x 0.6 in x 1.8 in, TFT 2.2 in - Color, ASF, MP3, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, MPEG 1 Audio, MPEG 2 Audio, MPEG 2.5 Audio, MPEG-4 SP, 2.5 oz

The Bottom Line: The pricey iRiver U10 is a superbly designed MP3 player that is both easy to use and packed with pretty much every feature in the book. But Apple won't be quaking in its boots until iRiver ups its capacity to 2GB and 4GB.

Specs: Digital AV player, 2.7 in x 1.9 in x 0.6 in, TFT 2.2 in - Color, ASF, MP3, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, Protected WMA (DRM), MPEG-4 SP, 2.5 oz

The Bottom Line: Although the PMC-120 is a much better device than its Linux-based brother, the PMP-120, it's not the best Portable Media Center device available.

Specs: Portable media center, TFT 3.5 in - Color

The Bottom Line: 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.
