Parrot Asteroid Classic
Our 2011 winner is a great device – it’s the only product in this test to feature a full colour screen which displays album artwork.
And adding to the appeal is the fact it has four USB inputs around the back. The voice control function makes finding a track in your iPod library easier than with any rival as well.
It comes with Bluetooth connectivity, and although there’s no CD or digital radio as part of the package, you can use apps on the device by plugging in a 3G dongle.
It’s expensive, but the Parrot is our money-no-object choice.
