BBC iPlayer goes mobile: Which player is best?

The Creative Zen X-Fi is a more costly version of the Zen, but offers the same 32GB of maximum capacity and 32GB of potential expansion. Its advantage is in its built-in speakers.

Its excellent screen, superb capacity and decent battery life make this one of the most attractive flash-based mobile iPlayer devices we've seen, but the original Zen still pips it to the post for its sheer affordability.
