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).

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.

I was sticking to the topic about something being an iSomething killer. 

 

 

I don't know why people use this "Killer" term. I am sure many know for a fact it won't come in and sweep away the iFans.

 

 

They also have an alternative to the Nano as well.

Conclusion
The S730 series is a stellar release from Sony, and the players are well-positioned to compete with the iPod Nano. Though they cost more than the equivalent capacity Nanos, they should draw buyers' attention with their plentiful customisation options, built-in FM radio and — the main drawcard — in-built noise cancellation. This last feature should appeal to audiophiles who have been disappointed by the sound quality on Apple's devices.

 

I like the FM radio feature, although I wish they had AM on these things too, that way I can listen to my sports radio.
