I agree 200% with Maximus comments. when it comes to sound quality SONY is SONY…Actually I went to purchase ipod fascinated by its looks but after hearing the sound quality, I ended up purchasing SONY Walkman. Sony “nothing like else.”

I would say the most important thing that matters in any audio device is the sound quality and Ipods are no where around the amazing sound quality of Sony’s Walkman (especially with new 810 models that have clear bass and 4 clear audio technologies). Ipod is all about cool looks and Walkman is all about great sound.
