Sony NW-A1200 Walkman review: Sony NW-A1200 Walkman

 

It has finally arrived in the States. Futuristic looks and brains aside, the NW-A1200 is a one-dimensional player with subpar software integration.

The Sony NW-A1200 has a stylish and futuristic design; excellent sound quality; is compatible with MP3, unprotected AAC, unprotected WMA, and ATRAC3; includes useful, intelligent playlist and artist link features; replaceable battery; decent value.

The Sony NW-A1200 uses a hard drive that's not as durable as flash; has no extra features such as FM, recording, and photo viewing; its monochrome screen is impossible to see in daylight and is easy to scratch; must use the imperfect SonicStage...

It has finally arrived in the States. The NW-A1200 is a one-dimensional player with subpar software integration, but the device looks good, sounds great, and includes innovative music search and playlist features.

So good looking

 

Stumbled across this beast, the Sony Walkman NW-A1200 8GB. My first thought was actually. "That looks rubbish, it doesn't even have a screen." I couldn't be more wrong. In fact, the screen was cunningly disguised to be nonexistent when it was turned...

It has a good price
