I doubt it's an iAnything killer, Apple has had a pretty good grip on the portable MP3 player market for a while now and until someone can make something that even comes close to rivaling the iPhone and iTouch, the iStuff is staying on top.

 

Well maybe not in sales but in terms of this vs the shuffle I think it is without a doubt a much more quality product for the same price.

Did you check the video in the link I provided above on the OLED touchscreen walkman? I am sure it does all that the Touch does plus more. I am sure it is also about the same price as the Touch.

 

I don't know about the sound quality because I'm not a huge sound person, but most other people aren't either.  Most people would rather choose what is trendy and anything starting with an "i" is trendy.

As for doing everything even the iPod touch can, not even close.  Other than the sound stuff the Sony thing looks like it has the touchscreen controls, music, and youTube.  The iTouch has all of that plus iTunes and access to many things on the App Store (which is why the iPhone and iTouch beats everything else).

I was looking more towards music and video. You want to go into apps I admit you are 100% correct, I think the Touch's internet browser is better too.

As for the Shuffle to Walman nwz-w202 comparison however, I don't care what will be more "trendy". I am talking about which is better quality for your money.

Yes, they are compatible with iTunes.

Music Transfer

It’s no big secret that Sony’s Sonic Stage software caused a few problems during its time. Thankfully, they have dropped the need for additional software on all Walkman models, instead, replacing it with a basic Drag & Drop functionality. There is, however, a small application included on the player called Content Transfer Installer. Which, once installed, enables you to drag and drop music from iTunes and Windows Media Player as well as automatically sync your player with any new music you’ve added to your computer or laptop. The players memory is also home to the instruction manual in a variety of languages. So it is worth going through and removing any of the unwanted material to free up space.

 

Cool picture of what they look like when worn.
