Apple’s New Fritter: The Nano
I don't know if I want this new Apple toy or not because as small as it is, I
would inevitably leave in my jeans and it would get washed but it is cool, no
doubt about it. This tiny little music player holds a ton of tunes and the price
is pretty reasonable.

Sony
Introduces New Digital Walkman
 By
Chris Crum
Sony has now introduced its new Walkman 26 years after the original one that began
the portable music trend was released. The new Walkman may just give Apple's iPod
a run for its money.
It comes in two capacities - a 20GB version and a 6GB version. Features include
the "My Favorite Shuffle" function, which automatically selects the 100 most listened
to songs and plays them randomly, and the "Time Machine Shuffle" function, which
selects a year, and randomly plays songs from that year. As explained
in a press release,
Sony Introduces New Digital Walkman Featuring
an advanced organic EL display (2 inches on the 20GB NW-A3000 version and 1.5
inches on the 6GB NW-A1000 model), Sony Walkman not only incorporates a range
of great features, it also offers the ultimate in ease of use through an appealing
user interface and fantastic visibility.
Once switched on, a mobile phone style 'Home' menu appears offering nine different
options that can be selected via the four-way directional button. These include
'Music Library,' 'Play Mode,' 'Initial Search,' 'Intelligent Shuffle,' 'Favorite
100,' 'Play History,' 'Settings,' 'Playlist' and 'Now Playing.'
"We are raising the bar with the new Sony Walkman," said Sony Europe General Manager
Gregory Kukolj. "These stunning new MP3 players will be instantly appealing to
both style followers and technology-minded individuals alike."
Sony offers a library of 1,000,000 songs through its Connect
catalogue, and is reportedly
in talks with Apple to offer songs through iTunes.
