  Sony Network Walkman NW-HD3 (20GB, Red) Reviews
  By James Kim
  
  Pros: Supercompact and stylish, though not as much as the HD1 ; awesome battery life ; basic operation ; improved interface ; natively supports MP3 files ; clean, bright sound quality
  
  Cons: No extra features ; works with only bundled SonicStage jukebox software
  
  Verdict: Sony's 20GB HD3 may not have the HD1's looks and battery life, but its native MP3 support and flashy new colors make it a better choice overall.

  Sony NW-HD3 (20GB)
  By Edvarcl Heng
  
  Review summary: A decidedly stylish and competent player that despite being the third rendition of the NW-HD series (with very little changes), still does not show its age.
  
  Pros: Nice mix of electronic acoustic enhancements ; longish battery life ; very solid feel in a slim body
  
  Cons: No playback support for WAV and WMA ; occasional lag when entering menus ; need for additional AC power/mini-USB attachment ; most of the digital acoustic enhancements does not work on MP3

  Network Walkman NW-HD1
  
  Review summary: When Sony announced that it would finally be producing a hard disk based music player, everyone expected an iPod killer. But how does it stack up to Apple's baby?
  
  Verdict: 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 ...

  Sony Network Walkman NW-HD1 (20GB)
  By James Kim
  
  Review summary: Sony's 20GB HD1 looks, sounds, and feels amazing, but you'll have to sacrifice an extra wad of cash, not to mention native MP3 and WMA file support.
  
  Pros: Supercompact and stylish ; awesome battery life ; basic operation
  
  Cons: Pricey at US$400 ; MP3, WMA, and other files must be converted to ATRAC3 format ; no extra features ; works only with bundled SonicStage jukebox software ; cradle is required to recharge and to transfer tracks to device
