Welcome to the new look Pocket-lint.co.uk

Sony 6GB Network walkman (NW-A1000) Sony's new range of MP3 players is the company's best yet, but can the A1000 live up to the new hype or has the electronics giant got it all wrong? <br>

Review: I’ve got one of these and it is awesome! It holds tons of songs and it is so cute! The only problem is I can't work out all the play lists other than that it is so much cooler than an iPod!

Review: The reviewer states that the only real failing of this unit is its lack of colour screen for displaying pictures and album art. Well I say that is this unit's best feature! I'm fed up of over-convergence of sectors in the gadget industry. Sony have gone back to their roots with this Walkman, and it does everything you could want it to, and it does it with aplomb. It's not trying to be anything other than a music player pure and simple. No stupid gimmicks, no tacky afterthoughts. Too many products are trying to be a Jack of All Trades, and in doing so, they truly master none. Good on you Sony. I'm glad you've found your feet again.
