Sony vs iPod

Email This Entry

Posted by Sandy

The Vaio Pocket will go on sale in Japan on June 5. The new portable music player has a 20 GB disk drive and a tiny color screen. According to this Macworld article, the Vaio Pocket VGF-AP1 will be a bit bulkier than the 20 GB iPod, and will cost about $70 more, but will have longer battery life and a color screen.

Meanwhile, Sony's new online music store needs some work. Rob Pegoraro's review in Fast Forward called Connect "an embarrassment to the company that gave the world the Walkman."
