iPod Nano making a camera-packing comeback?
After a September 2011 no-show from the annual iPod Nano range update, it now looks as if Apple are ready to reveal the next generation of their miniaturised MP3 players, and with it will come a much-missed returning feature….
Sony Walkman brand still fighting with new E-Series MP3 player launch
It may be embroiled in a losing battle with smartphones and Apple's iPod range, but Sony's Walkman MP3 players just wont give up. A new E-Series crop is being prepped for launch in Japan, alongside a set of speaker…

Sony's Walkman range gets another fitness-orientated Walkman today in the shape of the Sony Sports Walkman NWZ-W260. Completely wire-free with the player and storage built into the headphones themselves, they're totally water resistant, meaning they're as great for watersports enthusiasts…
Sony launch new NWZ-E450 Walkman range

NOISE GATE: Wi-Fi enabled MP3 Players
From today, I’ll be contributing a new weekly column to the site every Tuesday afternoon about digital music. We’re calling it Noise Gate – which refers to an electronic device that cuts through the noise and crackle of an analog signal and delivers you a noise-free result. In the same way, I want to cut through all the crap surrounding digital music, mainly delivered by major labels and tech companies, and deliver you the pure, unadulterated facts. Think you can handle them?
Shiny Video Review: Philips GoGear SA 2840 MP3 Player

CES 2008: iriver Clix+ portable media player with OLED screen
OLED technology is catching on fast if this year’s show is anything to go by. The player in my hand is the iriver Clix+ which is due to be landing this side of the pond fairly soon.

CES 2008: Samsung YA-BS900 Hyper 3-Channel Bluetooth speaker system
What with the YP-P2 Bluetooth MP3 player apparently kicking up a storm in the non-iPod realms of MP3 players, Samsung is following up its success with a range of compatible speaker systems. The YA-BS900 is the flagship model, sporting a 30watt, 3-channel system. The ‘Hyper’ 3-Channel Surround Sound system with Euphony Technology lets the listener hear the centre of the sound regardless of what position they are in or where they are in the room.
