Sony's new Network Walkman NW-E99 and NW-E95 rock MP3
Yeah, they're saying Sony's two new players won't make you deal with that ridiculous SonicStage MP3 to ATRAC converstion stuff anymore, and it's being reported that the two new players will be among the first to natively support MP3. We're going to remain vigilantly doubtful though, especially after just a couple days ago Sony released their non-MP3-compatible NW-S23 S2. Whatever, we'll see, right? Anyhow, the NW-E99 will have 1GB of space (for about $300) and the NW-E95 512MB (about $250), and apparently lacks those now-standard features we've all become used to in every other Flash player on the planet (FM tuner, line-in encoding, etc.). We'd like to say way to go, Sony, but you aren't even being clear what you're doing, so we're going to hold our tongues for a little while longer.
