Shock is the first thing that came to me when I saw it…
…however, after reading 1UP’s article a felt a little more relieved.
I’m not going to repeat what I think about it, you can read it on the original site or on my ForeverGeek article about it.
Has anyone noticed that long and thin seems to be the new trend? *points to iPod Nano*
When I first saw the Sony NW-E400 series I was fully taken. I liked it so much, from specs to looks that I went through hell and back to try and get the black 1gb version of it. And I probably did get it before anyone else on this island.
Therefore I have absolutely no need for this mp3 player. And I can’t even use the excuse of the photos because I have a Sony PSP. But damn… it almost makes me sad that this wasn’t out back when I got my MP3 player.
It’s specs aren’t amazing, 2gb max is fine, but the 14 hours battery life is (for me) a bit disappointing for the world’s most sold music player. I know it’s probably due to the color screen but still a device of that size should be able to kick a much higher battery life. My NW-E407 is the same size as as a lighter (and actually looks like one also) and kicks a 50 hour battery life, yes, fifty hours (and it has a screen).
All in all, the iPod Nano is a great device. I particularly liked the black version more, but that’s just a matter of taste really, both of them are really nice looking. If you were thinking of getting an iPod or replacing your old iPod model now’s a pretty good time to do so.
