Sony NWZ-W202 W-Series Walkman (2GB, black)

Pros: Sleek, solid build
Attention to detail
Great implementation of Zappin
Nice looking dock
Snug fit

Cons: No problems so far.

Summary: Sony has created an amazing product that they should do more to capitalize on. The device is sleek, solidly built, with great attention to detail. I especially love the way the two sides snap together and turns off in respond.

The Zappin feature is surprisingly well-implemented. Annoucements of "Zappin in", "Zappin out" and sound effects enhances the experience and makes sure you feel in control. Compared to Apple's speaking shuffle solution, this solution is much simpler and works much better in practice. It is so much easier to recognize a song by hearing it compared to listening to a robot say its title.

Some reviewers have the cheek to complain there's no display. That's precisely the point of this player. It's meant to be worn on the head. This player is about how to solve the problem of headphone cords and still providing a reasonable interface.
