Creative Zen Mozaic

The Mozaic is nothing to get too excited about, but it is very sturdy, small, light, easy to use and demonstrated excellent battery life. It's pretty good value too. If the sound quality was a little better and it showed up as an mass-storage device on Linux and Mac boxes, we'd have marked it higher. Notwithstanding that, it is still Creative's most convincing product of late, by some margin.

Sony Bluetooth Walkman NWZ-A826K

The longer we live with the Walkman, the more we're driven to an strange conclusion. Yes, the Walkman is good - very good in fact - but like the Samsung P2, which is also very good, it's just not as flat out cool, neat, funky to own and use as an iPod. This test has underlined to us once again just what a curiously but desperately possessable gadget the iPod is. Buy the Walkman and you'll come to like it and respect it enormously, but you won't ever come to love it.
