I always loved sony's SQ in their true walkmans. and yes S-Master sound engine (combination of DSP and amplifier) is really amazing, even the bravias have one.

sony makes far better MP3 players than Apple. But the hope of actually having to cut into ipod's market share, will, i am afraid, always remain a hope.

True. Apple has built an almost impenetrable loyalty that it will take Sony forever to knock them off their pedestal.

True, and Sony doesn't have a chancer at stealing some of the iPod touch owners until they launch a rival to the app store, which is virtually impossible.

Thats even better. Who wants to own a slick device that every other Tom, Dick and Harry has got.
Exclusivity is a good part of the appeal.

Sony isn't trying to steal the market back from Apple.
If they wanted to im sure they would be doing things a lot differently. Especially when Apple first brought the ipod out. Sony could have had (kept) the number 1 spot, market share wise, but they made the wrong decisions.
O well, all that matters is Sony make MUCH better devices, no thats not an opinion, its fact. The only way an ipod will sound better than a Sony is with good earphones and a portable amp!
@goldenface
too true. i hate white earphones!!!

I have always maintained that generally Sony walkmans are better sounding when compared to Ipods. Ipods are nothing special and I should know, I used one for a year but to say Sony doesn't want Apple's position in this segment is false.
The world of business is about revenue and Sony would dearly love the revenue that comes with the top spot that Apple enjoys with Ipods.
What's makes it worse is the 'muscle' that Sony has in music, the fact that they are the inventors of this segment also counts. They know they should be at the helm but they are not and are pushing Apple very, very hard.

ok i wrote the wrong thing. Sony arent trying to get number 1 back, yes they would love to be, as would any company, but they arent making the right decisions, nor trying hard enough like you say EMS06. At the moment the way they are doing things, seems like they are happy to sit back and have a small market share. They need to increase marketing also.
This x series walkman should do quite well in the market imho. But needs to have a good marketing campaign.

Absolutely >500!
Sony has made gross mistakes. I also agree that what they are looking for in the short term is an opening, once they get a substantial share then it's all systems go. Of course, as you put it, they need a very good marketing strategy which lacks a great deal from them and their cellphone arm.
I guess they will have to play a waiting game while delivering cutting edge products for now.
If you ask me they have definitely lifted off!
