Sony walkman still sound far better than most other competitors on the market (incl. ipod, samsung players, philips, creative etc.) and I have high expectations for the new NWZ-X1000 and I can't wait to buy that thing!

Have a look:

Design of this SONY Walkman is a real disaster, like it would be produced 10 years ago.

Oh, how suprising! The thing has a "home button". Ok, it´s only a half circle, but somehow it dimly remembers me.. And the housing looks like it´s made of crappy recycled plastic. brrr...

Classic Sony. You here about the "features" and it sounds great. Then you look at it and hold it in your hand and it's a huge disappointment. It's been eight years now and they just can't make a useful competitor to the Zune let alone the iPod. 

I do like it, but all those buttons EEEEK no. No thanks. And wi-..f..i? Whats that? When am i ever going to bother with that? This product is nothing like a B&o product. BS2 is still keeping me very happy.

I think it looks quite interesting and if Sony have tried on this one, it could sound fantastic. I look forward to a Walkmancentral write up!
