The Sony NW-HD5 (NWHD5) 20GB hard disk digital music player delivers a staggering 40 hours playback on one battery charge and carries up to 13,000 tracks. The Sony NW-HD5 also features the most innovative interface yet seen on a portable music device and comes in stylish colours of black, silver, and red. The Sony NW-HD5 offers full support for playback of MP3 and ATRAC3Plus digital audio tracks. A seven-line large LED window with bright backlight combined with the novel concept of the follow turn feature of the display, delivers real intuitive operation. The display graphics shift and change position depending on how users hold the NW-HD5 Network WALKMAN to provide smooth visibility. This follow turn feature uses G-Sensor technology to automatically detect the horizontal or vertical position of the device and consequently changes the position of the display graphics as well as that of the function buttons.

Pros Excellent sound quality, small size, lightweight
Cons SonicStage not as good as iTunes, lack of accessories, few functions
Recommended it? Yes

I picked this unit up a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier. It does what I want it to do.
