Video of Sony’s New Walkman: NW-A800

Sony NW-A800 Walkman
The guys over at DAPReview tracked down a video preview of Sony’s new MP3 player, or as they call it the “NW-A800 Sony Walkman”. The interface closely resembles that of the PSP and the device makes video playback possible. The NW-A800’s small and awkwardly designed buttons make operation look painful, especially for those with big hands. Furthermore, navigation looks like it will require two hands. Do I think it will succeed? “OH, HELL NO!” as Will Smith likes to say (see Independence Day and other Will Smith flix). They are way too late to market on this thing, but that’s why Sony’s Consumer Electronics unit has been struggling for years now. They’d probably benefit from spinning the department off into a more independent thinking unit and do what Steve Job’s did when he came back to Apple: cut back the number of products in R&D….my two cents. On the upside, these guys say the headphones that come packed with the device deliver a tight fit and good bass response.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."
