sony2Sony’s dropped a solid-looking touchscreen Walkman line with the X-Series. I can’t say I’m a big fan of the finish (looks a bit like the kitchen counter), but these tiny Sony players always make up for kind of standard looks with a really polished feel. It comes in 16GB and 32GB flavors, prices to be determined, and does what you’d expect regarding YouTube and that sort of thing. It’s got “an Internet web browser,” which doesn’t really strike a tone of confidence, but hopefully it will let you view the internet web with no problems.

They’ve also got noise cancelling built-in, which is nice, but what are you trying to say to those around you?

That’s really all there is to be said, except that I like the Samsung P3 better. So there.
