I'm in Japan right now. This is my first post since I arrived. I've been here for 2 months now. Sorry for the silence, but I really had to tell everyone about these slick little iPod killers.

Sony sells them as the NW-A800 line walkman mp3 players. They're the same size as the iPod Nano, and do everything that the iPod can, but add video playback (high-res too) and an FM radio to the mix. I'm not the biggest fan of iTunes Music Store, but I'm even less of a fan of Sony's online music store and music management application. You can copy videos directly onto the device (if they are in the right format) but you have to use their proprietary software to deposit your music.

Hurry up Sony and release this MP3 player in the states so the opensource guys can crack your lame software and give me another alternative.
