Cool shape
Pop-up USB plug
Fast battery charge and exemplary battery life...Lack of native WMA playback
Anaemic display
Awkward controls...Sound quality through the supplied earphones is very good and we managed to get almost all the quoted 50 hours of playback from the battery...The SonicStage PC application is used to zip MP3s or ATRAC files onto the Walkman......

It makes you realise how small the unit could have been without this and like the iPod Shuffle, its good to have the connector on board all the time...The charge time was very good - 3 minutes amazingly gives you 3 hours playback while on a full charge Sony promises 50 hours...This is a good player hampered really only by the frustrating hold button which drove us mad...

But, like the iPod Shuffle, its good to have the connector on board all the time...The sound is good and if you are looking for an MP3 player to use while on a run, the kidney bean shape will certainly be more comfortable to hold in the palm...Beyond the design, the sound quality is very good using the bundled headphones...
Charge for 5 minutes - get 5 Hours playback Volume is quiet I have had my Walkman Bean for over a year now and its still going strong...All in all a great little MP3 that gets me to work and back...
As an mp3 plaer it was very satisfactory, stunning to look at, sound quality was good and the controls were all very easy to use...This is a very good looking player and as an mp3 player works well but the design definitely needs looking into as the faults were just not acceptable...
