But yeah, the OLED is also a huge factor in the price. Just don't underestimate the value of the Digital NC for some users that travel a lot like me.

Who actually ever uses these things to show off pictures?

ooh look here i am doing something lame...

ooh and here i am looking like a douche...

FM circuitry is at most $0.50

and who actually can say watching a video on this cramped screen is useful

This is a device that gets purchased and then thrown in the box under the bed.

Anyone who tries this comparison of any Walkman to any iPod for sound quality and tells me that the iPod comes out on top is an idiot.

The only advantage for an iPod for me (I understand not many agree) is the ease of the iTunes software for syncing and other tasks.]]>Feb 25th 2009 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/Feb 25th 2009 10:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/Feb 25th 2009 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/Feb 25th 2009 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/Feb 25th 2009 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/
As for the "playing the same music", that is true if you do not care at all about sound quality, or to put it in other words, actually listening to music.Both iPods and Zunes have the lowest sound quality ratings, where Sony is listed as having one of the best. That, along with build in noise canceling (that who thing about sound quality again), I cannot say it is the best deal, but if you are into actually listening to your music, and a touch screen, I would say it is a good deal.]]>Feb 25th 2009 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/Feb 25th 2009 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/Feb 25th 2009 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/Feb 25th 2009 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/
But folks, if you take a quick glance over at the UK Apple store (online or in-store), you will find that the 16GB iPod touch goes for £214 and £283 for the 32GB model. Perhaps that was Sony's way of coming up with the UK price.

It WILL be cheaper in the US, a fair bit more cheaper indeed!]]>Feb 25th 2009 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/I think they need to be pitching it at the price of the Apple BELOW, in other words £165 for the 16GB and £214 for the 32GB.
I'm no Apple fanboi, but if Sony seriously expect people to pick theirs over the Apple (which like it or not, has a way bigger range of instantly compatible audio extension systems and other accessories, and actually looks better anyway) then trying to sell the same capacity at the same price is going to result in a massive FAIL.]]>Feb 25th 2009 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/Feb 25th 2009 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/sonys-oled-walkman-priced-and-dated-in-uk/
