Dear Sony,

The world has alternatives when it comes to music players (the same way it did when it came to gaming devices). Learn a lesson. Lower prices. Lose less $$.

The granite texture is not a print on,it's actually CHISELED out of the metal frame. it feels heavy and the tolerances are millimeter perfect. It's quite simply the best built electronic gizmo i've seen in some time and I urge you to try one out before refuting that.

The interface is pretty amazing too and the touchscreen is actually more responsive than that of the iPod Touch. Of course, sound quality is among the very best and the bundled earphones alone would cost you close to three figures. In built noise canceling actually works and get this: The player supports drag and drop.

The only complaint I have for the device is that the browser sucks balls. Which is fine because I use my MP3 player to play MP3s and little else. Crazy, I know.]]>Jul 1st 2009 1:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/Jun 30th 2009 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/Jun 30th 2009 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/Jun 30th 2009 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/Jun 30th 2009 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/Jun 30th 2009 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/Jun 30th 2009 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/Jun 30th 2009 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/

I'm hoping that between this and the Zune HD that there will be a nice refresh for the new Touch come September.. I'll be waiting! ]]>Jun 30th 2009 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/Plus the additional 3 hours of video playback is nothing to be ignored. Not to mention, the sound quality is infinitely better. By way of the software, and the headphones.

Have you used this Sony player? Thought not. So how can you even reccommend it over the touch? Idiot.


@ Gad Get - Slow on the uptake? Not quite sure where you pulled that comment from. You reccommended an iphone, after giving a bunch of reasons not to get one; the touch and the iphone have pretty similar hardware. How can you justify buying an iphone + contract, but not a touch? Especially when the guy never even mentioned he wanted an iphone.

So you're obviously just pulling comments out of your ass cos you've got nothing to say.

Another pair of idiots who think they're clever dismissing Apple products cos they're free-thinkers! (yeah, right). Another pair of idiots who can't afford Apple, or they've already spent their pocket money for this year on an inferior product]]>Jul 1st 2009 3:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/
The original posted mentioned that he wouldn't pay that much for the Sony walkman and would rather get the iPod touch. Looking at the logically and not a mindless drone you would see that as a PMP/DAP the sony is better than the iPod touch and for a very similar price. The iPod touch out does the Sony due to the fact it has tons of apps available. So therefore the point is compare PMPs/DAPs on this feature? You might as well consider smartphones such as the iPhone as I guess he uses a phone.

"Have you used this Sony player? Thought not. So how can you even reccommend it over the touch? Idiot"

It is clear the the original poster doesn't own either product - and as you pointed out we are talking about PMPs here - so at the same price why would you choose the ipod touch over this? Is it because of the super apps or because the market has spoken and it has sold millions. The former would suggest you are not really interested in PMP/DAP functions and the latter just makes you a sheep.

It is simple really - all reviews suggest sony's player has better playback, better screen, long playback. These are typically things that you look for in a product of this type.

There were no attacks against Apple - just questioning the reasoning of the original poster.

Next time you feel the need to call someone an idiot and righteously defend Apple try it in the real world and see how far you get.]]>Jul 1st 2009 5:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/
I bought the Sony OLED Walkman last month (UK).

I bought it from John Lewis's (promo on release) and the iPod Touch and Sony Walkman OLED were right next to eachother. I was torn between the two at first. I had considered other devices but it came down to these two.

The iPod Touch has the most gorgeous UI, it's absolutely fantastic. But then, I tried the Walkman. Sorry, but if your'e buying a device for music then the Walkman stamps all over the iPod. There is no contest when it comes to audio.

I just thought that apps on the iPod were gimmicky. Great at first, but I know I would'nt use them after half an hour.

Your point about the millions of people owning iPods? Well, people buy what's 'in' or what's perceived as 'cool' at the time. Wii anyone?

My best friend is a total Apple/iPod nut. I really like their stuff too.

However, if we're talking about a PMP that plays music with the added bonus of internet, YouTube, photo and video on a frickin' OLED screen (which is smaller buy WAY sharper than the iPod) the Walkman was the obvious choice after seeing through the fog that is apps.

Just my opinion though! :)]]>Jul 1st 2009 5:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/Jun 30th 2009 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/
But, what you did manage to accomplish showing how little you know about PMPs. It shows that you care more about a name then what the thing your buying actually does.

Oh well, enjoy your new SONY gadget!]]>Jun 30th 2009 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-oled-walkman-on-sale-now/
