"Welcome back SONY,.."
Pros: sleek desing, great features, open software.
Cons: Placing of the hold botton (wow!)
Summary: This walkman player could easily represent sonys comeback. It shows some steps forward in the companiess lost incentive to bring competitive products to the mp3 player marker, onces dominated by their walkmans.
This tiny player will offer you good storage for its size at 8gb and what we've come to expect from the company, 30 hours of battery life. it has a great design overall taking away that hold button and a nice user interface. The videos in the screen look really sharp to my amazement given the fact it is their first video walkman and has sufficient buttons to not want to scroll wheel through it. One plus about this walkman that isn't a tradition of many companies is its headphones. It brings high quality headphones that make it by far the best sounding player out of the box. Its also pocket-friendly player and best of all open source. You can just drag your music from many computers and have them come to you with no restrictions unlike that friend of ours Ipod. Personally though, I would have liked for them to just come out with a really nice software for it as it would make your music better organized and easier to manage. All in all, a great player and definitively something to consider over a fat nano. Choose wisely..
