Walt Mossberg Says Sony's New Audio Player Is No iPod Killer
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 09:00 AM
"While the new Sony is smaller than the iPod and has much better battery life, it is markedly inferior overall. It has a confusing, complex user interface that makes it hard to use; weak software for the PC; an oddball music format that makes loading it with songs tedious; and a companion music download service that offers less than Apple's. The iPod wins this round, and remains champion."
And that, my friends, is what we here in the Midwest call a Smack down. I haven't yet seen the Network Walkman for myself, but based on the interface and specs I would say it's going to flop faster than electric-blankets in July. Sony, you got served! :P
