> The NW-A55 is part of Sony’s budget digital audio player lineup. ... It worked out about AU $300 including shipping, not bad considering how expensive iPods and cassette Walkmans used to be. We must have very different definitions of "budget" because 200 EUR for MP3 player is nowhere close to budget line in times when you can buy decent budget phones for that money or how much I spent for great cassette Panasonic walkman. He is also comparing prices of technology at peak with price of technology pretty much nobody buys anymore and they should be giving pretty much for free. Btw 16GB model having 12.26GB available capacity I'd expect from some Android phone and not dumb MP3 player.
