Sony Walkman X1000

The new touchscreen 3" OLED Sony Walkman is soon to arrive in the UK. I am really interested to see what it can do and whether or not I should get one for my birthday in a few months.

32GB Features and Specifications

The new Cowon S9, which also looks very nice, supports FLAC files. Engadget review here if it interests you.
