I would have went with more of a copper finish than the stone look. However, I’d have to see it in person. If it looks like linoleum flooring, that won’t do. However, if its a metalic, crystaline finish, which I suspect it is, that might be pretty cool.

Comparing the Touch with the walkman is like comparing a pocket calculator to a nbotebook? O, so by your analogy, the iPod Touch is some sort of super computer? lol. They’re probably gonna come out with apps too. There was a 1 year period where the iPod Touch didn’t have an SDK. People could jailbreak them and put unliscensed software on them, but this would/will void the waranty. If sony isn’t as strict in this reguard, they’ll be ahead of game.

there are thousands of FREE apps that are useful and/or fun. the app store is the clincher for iPhone/iPod touch being the leaders.

You don’t. The faux stone looks stupid. Of course, I do like me some 80’s musik.

The proper wording would be Zune competitor or iPod alternative but in no way will is this product on par with iPod.

Sony is not even in this market anymore. Why bother? They should stick to sexy, but ridiculously expensive notebook computers. Oh, and sexy but unaffordable game consoles.

This market is wrapped up by the iPod Touch; or hey, go a little better and also get a phone (iPhone).

Sony, go home. It is ironic that they made the case look like granite – this thing will sink like a rock.

its a nice player will def keep up all its missing is the appstore but lets be honest who really uses it like 90 percent of the apps are either somthing about finding food, reference info, motion marble games, or a fake mario kart… please tell me whats appstore app doesnt either replace a book mark in your browsfr, reinvent a marble game or reinvent a kart game..

Sony is really stepping up the game so this is good news for us consumers as all the other mp3 player makers will also want to keep up with the competition. I admit the ipod touch is nice but it won’t be for long as the competition will keep everyone on their toes (both apple and Sony).

@jman,

Yea but apple hasn’t gone up yet. They are slowly going up over the past 3 years. But in the big picture they are still a smaller entity.

Here is the thing, Apple knows the Mp3 market will go under one day that’s why they introduce the iPhone & the iPod touch to take over while leaving the entire iPod line alive to just fade out. This thing from Sony is really hot no doubt, it has a really nice screen which Apple & microsoft will adopt in their next product refresh, but that is it? 1st, this thing is not even release yet 2nd, it can’t do anything more than a average Zune that’s already on the market can

after playing with an Xperia today at a Sony store I bet it also feels flimsy, breakable and overpriced

As the old going goes what goes up must come down….Apple will eventually fail, its just a matter of time..so maybe Sony does have a chance?!?

The iPod/iPhone has 14,601 apps with over 4,000 being games. I doubt very much Sony can “touch” Apple’s UI or OS. Sony is 5 years too late to the game. Nobody but a geek would even know what OLED or noise cancellation even is! HAHA

looks good to me with the oled and noise cancelation that will hook some. Give it PSP games and playstation store and if it can run that new firefox mobile browser Fennec or even Opera mobile or sky fire..ipod touch might get bitch slapped a little

You guys post on these boards as if your opinions matter. They don’t. It’s all about sales, and Apple’s got sales. Sony, for its part, can’t seem to sell anything these days.

why do i need a bunch of useless apps on my mp3 player? I don’t need that junk wasting my memory and my time. Good job sony!

With only wifi, even if there is a browser, the Sony is still playing catch-up with the iPod Touch. Now if they threw in FM radio with RDS and recording, Bluetooth wireless that also worked with their sound cancelling, a boatload of great apps/games for free download, etc., they might have something.

5 years too late? It’s got an OLED display which will stomp all over the ipod touch screen

Why do I seem to be the only one that thinks the faux stone looks stupid as hell.

pretty… now howsabout walking this design over to Sony Ericsson so they can add some radios for talking and surfing the net, bluetooth….y’know all that good stuff that makes it a phone?!

Dude you don’t really have to buy anything from iTunes most of the Apps are already free, some of them are crap since there’s like over 10000 of them and growing but they do have some really cool & nice ones too, comparing this to a touch is like comparing a really nice basic calculator to a netbook

By: keymaker

keymaker — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:35:27 +0000

This product looks hot no doubt, it being a iPod touch competitor? not a chance i think, why? this is just a MP3 Player which is 5 years to late i think, if sony would have come out with this back in 2004 it would had really made a impact but right now the iPod touch just has to many freggin apps, Why would you buy this when the the touch could do so much

if it has oled AND noise canceling its a definite ipod competitor!

By: Zeek

Zeek — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:06:13 +0000

that $h1t looks kinda saucey … But I have to agree… the touch has a boat load of (mostly useless) apps behind it that make it mo special saucey

App store? I have no desire to buy a bunch of apps from iTunes. In fact if this thing can keep the prices down and *not* tie it to some proprietary format or store, I would consider it. Otherwise it’s just as bad as Apple. I want to put music from my collection onto an mp3 player and bring it with me when I leave the house. That’s it. None of this app store crap to milk money from me wherever I go.
