New Player Roundup

Gear @ IGN.com has a new roundup of full-sized harddrive MP3 players. It's a nice, concise guide to 5 popular models with pros and cons of each.

This seems to be a good time for a hard drive (HDD) portable roundup. Everything that is coming out has come out. The next-generation of HDD players will start seeping out later this year, but for now you have plenty of options from plenty of makers. I also get several letters per day asking for HDD recommendations.

For what it's worth, we agree 100% with Gear's top 5 choices. For the typical user, these are the ones you should get to know before buying. One of these will more than likely fit the bill and the budget.
