A Good Pick

It has been a month since I have bought the Sony 8GB Walkman. No complains till now. I previously had the 2nd generation Apple Ipod and i wanted to change it. Though the IPOD looks and feels good I didnt think it was worth the buck in terms of sound quality, and features.

Pros:
1. Noise Reduction -9/10 (i really like this feature)
2. FM radio - 7/10
3. Video play back - 8/10
4. Music Equalizer - 8/10 (This is a kewl feature)
5. Menu's/GUI (User friendliness)- 7/10
6. Small and compact.
7. Files can be dragged n dropped in the folder (I really like this as u can you dont need any software installed, and you can take your songs from on computer to another)
8. Sturdy and well built
9. Good battery life

Cons:
1. Once a song ends there is a pause and then the next song starts, i would have love it if it was continues play back
2. No voice record feature (Not needed, but still it a feature you may want for the price)
3. Menus and user interface is not as kewl as the IPOD (One area where the IPOD beats the Sony MP3 Walkman!)
4. No motion sensors on so pictures dont change their alignment as you move tje unit from horizontal to vertical or vise-versa (A kewl IPOD feature)

In the end i think its really worth the buck! I would recommend it to any one.
