Sony NW-A800 Walkman Video MP3 Player
All the photographs accompanying the press release about Sony’s Walkman Video MP3 Player seem to incorporate vast quantities of white space all around the product.
It’s probably meant to make it look cool, but we’ve neatly sabotaged that by shrinking the photo to a ludicrous extent using a poor-quality program, thus rendering the image really blocky.
The NW-A800 is of course Sony’s first foray into the video MP3 player market. The battery life’s quoted as being 30 hours for just music, which isn’t too bad. However, the Walkman Video (wouldn’t Video Walkman sound better?) is under 9cm long, which is eminently loseable.
Maybe they could revert to the size of their original Walkman, which played cassettes. That was about the size of the average novel. There was no losing that bad boy. On the other hand, I had one that played everything fractionally too slowly unless you maintained a constant and quite heavy force on the play button while listening. It kind of ruined the portable aspect, constantly having to use two hands to hear things right.
