Title: Sony NW-HD3 (20GB)
Pros: Nice mix of electronic acoustic enhancements; longish battery life; very solid feel in a slim body.
Cons: No playback support for WAV and WMA; occasional lag when entering menus; need for additional AC power/mini-USB attachment; most of the digital acoustic enhancements does not work on MP3.

Title: Sony Network Walkman NW-HD3
Verdict: Sony once dominated the mobile music market, and is clearly trying to use the HD3 to claw some sales away from its white and chrome rival from Apple.
Summary: Sony messed up its first attempt at toppling the iPod by failing to support music formats other than its own Atrac. With the new HD3, Sony has added support for the ubiquitous MP3 format...
