Sony NWZ-A816 (4GB, pink)

By (cnet.com)

The Sony NWZ-A810 offers a slim design with a lovely, ample screen. It's also easy to use and comes with high-quality earphones. Audio quality is excellent, and there are plenty of sound enhancement options and two custom EQs. The player supports ...

Even with the included extender, the Sony NWZ-A810's earphone cable is very short. The placement of the hold button on the back of the player is neither convenient nor ergonomic. There's no FM tuner, voice recorder, or memory expansion slot

The Sony NWZ-A810 offers a fantastic display, a sleek design and interface, and a stellar battery life--plus, it's one of the few MP3 players that sound great right out of the box. Users looking for the whole package (sans radio) will be pleased.

Review: Sony Walkman NWZ-A818 portable media player

By (infosyncworld.com)

Sony's 8GB Walkman takes square aim at the iPod nano with its small profile and price tag. Is it an iPod killer or bargain bin fodder?

Small size, full-featured, large screen

Poor value, Windows-only
