MP3 and Portable Video Player Picture Quality Shoot-Out

Part of my job requires me to know this stuff. But it's virtually impossible to memorize these specs and capabilities. Saves me time in checking this report. Saves you too.

In this three-part series, we'll examine and evaluate the image and video picture quality produced by MP3 and portable video players, high-end smart phones, and portable game consoles. The market for these devices is growing explosively. They are rapidly converging in functionality and performance, so we are going to compare them all to one another throughout the series. Part I includes five MP3 and Portable Video Players—the Apple iPod, Creative Zen Vision:M, Epson P-4000, Cowon A2, and Archos 604. Part II will examine four smart phones—the BlackBerry 8700, Motorola Q, Nokia N80, and Palm Treo 700p, and Part III will examine the Nintendo DS Lite and Sony PSP (PlayStation Portable).
