I love Sony…but this seems to be an impractical offering. With a price of $336 for only 4Gb, it really seems to price itself out of the marketplace. I’m sure the small size is a sales factor but I really can only see that targeting fitness enthusiasts or outdoor types that want the light weight and small need for a screen. If that is the target audience, isn’t there some overlap with the Sony NW-S200 series (S2 Sports Walkman). Otherwise, who would choose this player over an iPod, Zune, or other offering with 7x to 8x more storage and a price $100 under?!?
Come on, Sony…I know you can reclaim your fame! :-)
