Sony adds drag and drop to its video Walkman, is it enough to finally kill off the competition?
With the Walkman NWZ series, Sony has finally created the nano killer the NW series always should've been. Being able to drag and drop files to it makes managing your music a breeze, while the superior sound quality and bundled headphones round out...

Great video playback, but we expect better sound from a Sony
Excellent video playback ; superb functionality

Sony has dumped SonicStage for its new flash player. Hurrah say we, but can the NWZ-A815 satisfy our demanding shell-likes?

This players not for sheep, would it surprise you to learn that there is another way? Sony's latest small MP3 player has a lot to do to persuade us that its a viable challenger to the iPod, does it pull it off

Sony has traditionally adopted a bit of a pompous stance with its portable music players, refusing to fall in line with the rest of the industry when it comes to adopting current standards. Despite this, the ...
The NWZ-A815 isn't perfect, but it's damn near close. If you're primarily looking to listen to audio you won't find a more adaptable, better performing or more usable media player on the shelves today.
