Sony's NW-A800 is like a fat iPod Nano

Sony's newest portable video player, the NW-A800, has made the rounds of initial impressions and it seems it's most closely related to the iPod Nano in terms of price and features. However, it is about twice the thickness of its Apple rival.

The biggest addition from previous Sony PMPs is that it supports RSS feeds for automatic downloading of audio and video podcasts. It sports a 2" QVGA screen with a 240x320 pixel resolution. It tips the scales a very light 53 grams.


Of course, Sony's proprietary music platform, SonicStage, is at the backbone of the A800. It's ambidextorus-friendly, toting the ability to switch screen presentation between right- and left-handedness.
