When I first saw the Sony NW-E400 series I was fully taken. I liked it so much, from specs to looks that I went through hell and back to try and get the black 1gb version of it. And I probably did get it before anyone else on this island.
Therefore I have absolutely no need for this mp3 player. And I can’t even use the excuse of the photos because I have a Sony PSP. But damn… it almost makes me sad that this wasn’t out back when I got my MP3 player.
It’s specs aren’t amazing, 2gb max is fine, but the 14 hours battery life is (for me) a bit disappointing for the world’s most sold music player. I know it’s probably due to the color screen but still a device of that size should be able to kick a much higher battery life. My NW-E407 is the same size as as a lighter (and actually looks like one also) and kicks a 50 hour battery life, yes, fifty hours (and it has a screen).
All in all, the iPod Nano is a great device. I particularly liked the black version more, but that’s just a matter of taste really, both of them are really nice looking. If you were thinking of getting an iPod or replacing your old iPod model now’s a pretty good time to do so.
