Is this one of those Sony devices that doesn't play MP3 or AAC files and you have to convert all your existing music into Sony's inferior and proprietary ATRAC3 format before you can listen to it?

Nope this baby kicks a**. None of this ATRAC rubbish, you can check the specs out at this website.

Oh by the way it was US$699 thats about £384, and thats about how much a 40Gig Ipod costs WITHOUT VIDEO or Colour Screen.

All I can say is that Apple has a fight on there hands this year, and if they dont bring out the video-pod soon, I am certain Sony will reign again.

what about this Sony media player versus the PSP?

@Dragonfly_TP Well PSP is a gaming machine, and this is just as you said a media player. So I would not VS the two, because each has its strong and weak point.

I think the comparison in size with the iPaq is interesting, though i disagree about your comparison with the iPod i think that this audio/video player, will be more in direct competition with the Archos A/V players, than the iPod, due to size, features(and price?)
btw, the new 40GB iPod is £300 ( but still no colour screen
)
