Reviews of the Sony NW-S203 (1GB)

CNET Review
The Good: Sony's NW-S200 S2 Sports Walkman features a unique design and several fitness-friendly extras; it applies nifty uses of Sony's G-sensor technology; sound quality is excellent; includes an FM tuner.
The Bad: As usual, Sony's subpar (and required) SonicStage software sullies the experience, and there's no fitness software to help you track your progress. The included earbuds are uncomfortable and won't fit all users.
The Bottom Line: The NW-S200 Walkman proves once again that Sony knows what it's doing in the hardware department; fitness-minded users should take a close look at this flash MP3 player. But make sure you're comfortable with SonicStage before you commit.

Review Summary: As Survivor's Eye of the Tiger roars out, the only irritant is Sony's clonky SonicStage software. Other than that, this is a near-perfect sporty player
