    CNET Review

    October 18, 2005

    The Good: Excellent FM reception and battery life; retractable USB connector.

    The Bad: Poorly designed USB cover; awkward controls; tiny screen muddles interface; noticeable hiss during playback; music-store support limited to Sony Connect; slow file transfers.

    The Bottom Line: Sony's half-baked Walkman Bean tries hard to be hip, but bad design elements and hissy audio make it one square audio player.
