Sony takes on iPod Shuffle

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the battle-royale-for-your-ears dept.

Ben writes "It seems that Sony has decided to take on Apple with a low cost flash based player that will go up against the Shuffle. Pocket-lint has the low down on some of the stats, as does the BBC and Engadget." The major improvement in my eyes is that some models have an FM tuner.

    No Ogg Vorbis, no FLAC. I want to encode my CD-ROMs into a format that's not patent-encumbered. Looks like neither Sony nor Apple have a product for me. And it looks like Sony's product costs more than Apple's - are you kidding?
