God I hate video on the Internet. That whole thing could have been summed up in a few f***ing lines:

- touch screen
- wifi
- web browser
- video support / mobile TV in Japan at least
- 16/32gb versions
- 33 hours music battery life, single digits when doing anything else like video/wifi
- US$400 (40,000 yen) for the 16gb or 50,000 yen for the 32gb

It doesn't answer any actually useful questions, like can it play mp3s, or are Sony still morons? What video formats can it play?

Pretty blatant attempt to copy the ipod touch if you ask me :D

Trog: I'm still bitter that people started using images on the internet! Imagine how much bandwidth we could save if everything was text only!

I don't think I'll ever buy a media device again when I could just buy a phone that does all that plus more.

Maybe on a resistive touch-screen. Capacitive touch-screens are very responsive.

wow, unbelievable ripoff of ipod touch, including same features ("a home button at the bottom of the device", "swipe to browse through different songs", "all functionality from a single home screen", "functions such as volume on the side of the device", same specs(16gig/32gig), oled screen is very nice, but seriously, its a sony branded ipod touch, we really need better IP laws.

Why, so Apple can be the only people that make touch screen devices? How would that help consumers
