The NW-A800 is based on flash memory, and its user interface as well as its amazing battery lifetime have positively impressed testers. However, the USB transfer speed is 5 time slower than the one measured with an iPod nano, and the companion application supposed to be an iTunes-like developed by Sony is far from being equal to the original.
If this product might be unbalanced, the competition is getting everyday tougher, and it is time for Cupertino to upgrade all iPod models to maintain the design, innovation and user-friendly gap between iPods and their competitors.
