Product Rating: 3.65 star(s) Sony NW-S205F (2GB)

Comments:

Review Verdict: The NW-S200 Walkman proves once again that Sony knows what it's doing in the hardware department; fitness-minded users should take a close look at this flash MP3 player. But make sure you're comfortable with SonicStage before you commit.

QuickTake:

Pros: Sony's NW-S200 S2 Sports Walkman features a unique design and several fitness-friendly extras; it applies nifty uses of Sony's G-sensor technology; sound quality is excellent; includes an FM tuner.
Cons: As usual, Sony's subpar (and required) SonicStage software sullies the experience, and there's no fitness software to help you track your progress. The included earbuds are uncomfortable and won't fit all users.

Product Rating: 4 star(s) Product Reviews: Sony NW-S203F

Comments:
The Sony's audio quality is top notch and the supplied headphones won't fall out of your ears even if you're really bouncing about. If you tire of listening to your own tunes, the S2 also supports FM radio, though recording isn't offered.

Review Verdict: While the S2 Sport lacks picture and video playback functionality, its workout-specific features have been perfectly considered and work well.

Sony NWS205F - Gadget Guy Australia

Comments:
Plenty of players take on Apple's virtual stranglehold on the portable music player market by taking on the iPod head to head. Sony's impossible to pronounce Sony NWS205F doesn't take that tack, instead aligning itself with a very specific market segment

Review Verdict: Sports junkies who are sick of iPods bouncing out of their shorts pockets while on a run or at the gym would do well to consider the NWS205F, but for all the couch potatoes and stay-at-home music lovers, it's not as good a choice
