What the NW-HD5 doesn’t have is extra features such as an FM tuner or a microphone which will probably put off those who want their MP3 player to offer kitchen sink functionality. However, the thought of having to use SonicStage may put off even more people. In hardware terms though the Sony is a lean mean little player that knocks spots off the iPod in terms of size, battery life, sound quality and even price. You can pick the NW-HD5 up from Komplett for only £169 (silver and red only) - 40 quid less than the 20GB iPod. Granted it still doesn’t have the same unquantifiable cool but then there are an awful lot of people who aren’t members of the iPod fan club. Whether the thought of going Sony will appeal to them any more is debatable though and the look and the interface of the NW-HD5 may be too quirky for some. Read full review
