Sony Walkman NWZ-A818
Reviewer: infosyncworld.com15 February 2008- Overall 7

Sony's 8GB Walkman takes square aim at the iPod nano with its small profile and price tag. Is it an iPod killer or bargain bin fodder? Read more

It is priced competitively when you stack it up, especially considering the inclusion of the earbuds. The low end A810 starts at $109.95 for 2gb, while the 8gb model is $199.95. Read more

Does exactly what it says on the tin
Reviewer: Neil Cutler, digitaltrends.com25 November 2007- Overall 10

Bought an iPod Classic 80gb. I had a problem with the disk spinning even though it was turned off draining the battery but thought the sound was amazing. Sent iPod back and bought Sony NWZ-A818 8gb. Sound knocks socks off iPod and unit is small and solid. Easy to transfer music across. Does need a case as it gets covered in fingerprints Read more
