Sony Mp3 Players.

Oh well, finally spotted this cool, stylish (as commented by cnet editors) device. Non other it is the Sony Network Walkman NW-HD5! Okay, be frank, actually I noticed the HD player sometimes ago. However as I thought it's going to be the usual sony style, lacking of wma, I sort of dislike it. However, when I came across the reviews of it having it, I'm delighted. Other than it, is the Walkman Bean MP3 PlayerNW-E305! It's cute! Alright. Without further delay, please read on the extracts extracted from Sony's site.
