Title: Sony NW-A808
Pros: Great sound from bundled headphones; superb, lightweight design; high-quality video; useful equaliser functions; long battery life
Cons: Lack of FM radio; high price; unfriendly SonicStage software
Verdict: The most beautiful MP3 player we've seen since the nano, with incredible video playback and superb battery life. Sadly, though, the SonicStage software still drags down usability
Summary: The Sony NW-A808 is one of the sleekest, sexiest MP3 players we've seen in, well, ever. On looks alone, it's a worthy contender to Apple's iPod nano and Samsung's YP-K3 -- and it's pretty good spec-wise too

Title: Sony - NW-A806

Title: Sony Walkman NW-A806 Review - MP3 Players
Pros: Sound quality impressive, Looks the goods, All metal body more delectable than it looks, Brilliant screen great for photos and videos ...
Cons: ... but let down by dour colour scheme, Interface has some kinks, PC software still pretty rubbish, Price
Summary: Were it not for crazy pricing, the A806 would've walked it in for an Editors' Choice award. As it is, it's still a great nano competitor with sound Apple would kill for and video playback to boot.

Pros: Good interface and software, Decent picture quality
Cons: Diminutive controls, Too much screen glare
Verdict: Sony has done well here, cramming a lot of features and functionality into a remarkable compact device
