The NW-HD1 is small, slim, stylish, light and sexy. Unfortunately, the lack of native MP3 support (or WMA for that matter), lengthy file conversion process, convoluted, difficult software, and inability to create playlists with ease takes all the shine of this little Walkman. I’m not the biggest fan of the iPod, but given that it offers better file format support, a superb user interface, excellent software and a £50 saving over the NW-HD1, it definitely looks like the better option. However, if you’re not looking for an electronic style icon, check out the Rio Karma, it’s a better device than both of them.Read full review
