Sony bless 'em, they'll get there in the end I'm sure. It's quite heartwarming to see the big S gradually giving in to what the consumer wants. The latest Walkmans really are fantastic, and to me are a much more desireable personal music player than a ubiquitous iPod. Granted the software to transfer the music still isn't quite up to iTunes' standards, but again, they're getting there. And for all intents and purposes, music transfer is but a small factor in the enjoyment of the product. The actual use product itself is very impressive, with great audio reproduction, fantastic styling, great build quality and intuitive controls.

Had Sony brought WMA into the fore in the first place, I'm sure the Walkmans would have had more of an impact however, but at least they are native mp3, which is the buzzword for the computer-illiteraty.

Maybe next time, they will finally produce the perfect player?
