P.S. Sony please bring out more 32gb device. ]]>Aug 7th 2009 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/
$200.00 price point.
Has a Touchscreen. (If you think X-Series, please refer to the line above.)
Audible Audio AAX. (I hate reading anything but websites)
WMV/H.264 @ resolutions of 720x480 Main Profile Cabac. (High-res PSP compatibility)
Integrates with the PlayStation Movie Store. (I want video rentals)
Has a decent web browser. (Unlike the X-Series)
WiFi.

The X-Series is over-priced... Maybe a Zune HD or iPod Touch 3G, then?

Least I'd get more bang for my buck!!!]]>Aug 7th 2009 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/Aug 7th 2009 11:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/Aug 7th 2009 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/Aug 8th 2009 7:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/Aug 7th 2009 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/
16GB microSD is quite reasonable now. They should give us choice to load our own sticks, but they are milking the profit machine by offering two sizes for ridiculous mark-up and would prefer you buy a new one after warranty anyway.

If it's not the limited storage that will make you upgrade, it's when one of these (storage or battery failure) that will. It's nonsense that once they simplified all the mechanics of yesteryear's devices, they go on to offer as permanent fixtures things with known limited rewrites (flash memory) and known limited charge cycles (rechargeable batteries).]]>Aug 8th 2009 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/Aug 7th 2009 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/Aug 7th 2009 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/that's about the only thing particularly good about this player.]]>Aug 7th 2009 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/Aug 7th 2009 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/Aug 7th 2009 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/* Removable storage and battery, when?

I think for the money the S-Series is always been attractive. To the mainstream consumer, this could very well be a great update to an already successful Walkman for Sony. Most reviews of past S-Series Walkmans have been favorable.]]>Aug 8th 2009 3:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/Aug 8th 2009 4:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/Whatever you want to say about how successful the S series is/was, doesn't change the fact that Sony is charging premium price for an old hardware with weak specs, yet again.

@AI: LOL, you're hoping this obviously plain old Sony stock bud to be as good as the EX models? Yeah, I'm sure the stand also contribute to the "superior" SQ. LOL.]]>Aug 8th 2009 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/
I'm really tired of fighting you, and reading you in general; if engadget had an ignore feature I would have hit it a long time ago. The problem with your logic is your reading comprehension abilities - You asked me, "who's working against you?" - its people like you, who put me on blast for things that don't even make sense. I never stated engadget is against me. You are working against me by sitting here saying negative comments.

I never intended for my words in my post to read that the stand makes it the best S-Series ever. I wrote that sentence at the end of the story as an overall summation, meaning that all features together make this the best S-Series yet. Not just the stand. I can't get enough credit for you to figure that one out on your own, or do you think I'm a complete idiot? Of course, pounce on your misinterpretation and call it a new low for Sony fanboys.

Go ahead and give me a reply that puts me down more, or balks about how oversensitive I am. This is how about 90% of your comments are - rude, arrogant, hateful, and so forth. ]]>Aug 8th 2009 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/Aug 8th 2009 2:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/Aug 8th 2009 5:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/Aug 8th 2009 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/

LOL. Yet another reason that I think Sony fanboys are worse than Apple fanboys. :P]]>Aug 8th 2009 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/Aug 8th 2009 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/07/sony-s-series-walkman-lists-itself-on-french-retail-site-just-w/Aug 8th 2009 6:31PM
