Sony thinks they have what it takes to compete with likes of the iTouch, and I believe they are on the right track. The Sony X-series Walkman, releasing in about a month, is the biggest thing to happen to the Walkman line since its release. The X-series is Sony’s attempt to bring the Walkman into the modern-day realm of touch-screens and wifi. Sony added many cool features that make it a noble competitor against the iTouch.
3-inch OLED display with 432 x 240 resolution
WiFi Capability
Web Browser (including YouTube and Slacker apps)
Intuitive Touch-Screen Interface
FM Tuner
Integrated Noise Cancellation
The X-series’ touch-screen works as well as (if not better then) the iTouch and the OLED screen looks gorgeous. The Wifi integration is nice, especially when using the Slacker app to listen to tons of free music, but the web browser can be a little annoying to use. It is helpful though because it allows you to download movies straight from the internet, from online stores such as Amazon. Though without the equivalent of an App-store and by not taking full advantage of the opportunites offered by the WiFi capability, Sony’s X-series Walkman is definitely not an iTouch KILLER. The Walkman does offer a wide range of capabilities without sacrificing quality, but being priced similarly to the iPod Touch, I expected slightly more out of one of the largest and oldest companies in the portable music player market.

I actually bought the PS3 in order to receive a 24 month, interest free loan to buy a LARGE screen Panasonic Plasma HDTV from Circuit City. In order to get this promotion you had to spend $999.99. The TV was only 799.99 so I had to come up with at least $200.00 more in purchases. After hearing the salesperson’s spiel on several options to enhance my TV experience, the only SMART (no brainer) option was the PS3 with all the above benefits. It was a little more than $200.00 but well worth the extra few dollars. Besides the beautiful system that can either sit horizontally or vertically next to your TV, this powerful machinery of hardware, software and networking is worth every penny.

Just when you thought notebooks could not get any smaller, Sony recently introduced the Vaio Lifestyle as an addition to its already robust mobile lineup. As the lightest eight inch notebook in existence, the Lifestyle perfectly balances performance, battery life, and mobility. At 1/2 pounds, the Lifestyle can handle up to a 128 GB hard drive, an Intel Atom processor, and 2 GB of RAM.
The Sony Vaio Lifestyle is the perfect notebook for students, those who travel often, and people who simply want extended battery life without sacrificing performance. I strongly recommend this notebook because it packs as powerful a punch as most laptops. The Vaio Lifestyle may be a bit pricey, but nowhere else will you find a better combination of power and portability. The Lifestyle is definitely one of the best new gadgets of 2009.
