Pros

Portability is better than ipod too, the player is smaller(although not slimmer than ipid nano), lighter and attracts the looks for being unique. The only problem i have is the headphones that came with it are too big for my ears.

The sony walkman meets and exceeds all my expectations. The shuffle is quick and get some nice surprises, the ergo might have been a bit more thought out but i am from the 60's.

When it comes to functionality, battery life and durability, i find it to be the front runner in each category. Even when i'm not counting the playback hours i still think they are more than 30 hours audio playback. Easy management of files and folder... Read More

Radio tuner is very good, gets great reception. My little * is filled to capacity with the likes of mississippi fred mcdowell. Sony puts a premium price on the docking stations and speakers so i would like to see some other manufacturers have accessor... Read More

My old creative muvo would accelerate the fast forward the longer i hold down the button.

Packaging/appearance

This amazingly compact device works perfect right out of the box.

This player is small, but not too small, because the buttons are nice a big so you have no problem with moving around in the menus.

Competitiveness

I have owned a toshiba gigabeat 20gb and my brothers all own ipod videos.

Conclusion:since it's cheaper than the ipod it's definitely a better bargain.

I never even loaded sony's software that came with it.

I have had a couple of other cheapy brands (hated them!
