At first we assumed the four-way commands were touch sensitive, but it ended up that all the controls on the unit are actually hard keys. On the front you’ll find the display followed by the navigation controls right below. 45 inches thick, making way sleeker, but thicker and taller than the new iPod Nano. The Walkman is just 3.25 inches tall, 1.7 inches wide, and. The unit is quite durable and wouldn’t be easy to break.
The S610’s body is simple and elegant, but not eye-catching. Just to heat things up, we’ll even go as far to say that we’d recommend this over Apple’s new iPod Nano! As we got more into the player’s features and capabilities, we were surprisingly impressed with what Sony has turned out. that can playback video and the first to be “open format,” we weren’t expecting too much. Getting back to the review, since this was Sony’s first Walkman in the U.S. We’ve got to say that Sony should be proud since they have finally taken a big step by launching Video Walkmans which are also “open format.” (Means support for most DRM-Free music formats.) If they keep up the pace, this could help them regain their market share in the portable media sector. Skatter Tech recently got a hold of Sony’s NWZ-S610 Video Walkman to review and we have been messing around with it for a few days.
