  Sony Walkman NWZA815
  
  Review summary: Pitched directly at the iPod Nano market, Sony's latest Walkman has a few advantages over its rival. The screen is bright and crisp and the displayed MP4 videos look great. The battery life, too, is impressive should it manage the purported 30 hours ...

  Sony Walkman NWZA815
  
  Review summary: The biggest bonus for the Walkman though is its new drag-and-drop functionality
  
  Pros: Good displayDrag and dropReasonably good value
  
  Cons: No expansion possible
  
  Verdict: This 2GB version seems a bit light, and there's no memory expansion possible unlike the Sansas at half the price, but the 8GB iteration is only just over the £100 mark

  Sony Walkman NWZ-A815
  By Nate Lanxon
  
  Review summary: We are happy to report that both high prices and Sony's SonicStage software are nowhere to be seen on the new range of A-Series players. Instead, you'll get a heap of high-quality codecs that can be organised with the utmost simplicity. Simple to use ...
  
  Pros: Sound quality ; battery life ; design ; no SonicStage required ; high-quality video support ; easy to use ; price
  
  Cons: No FM radio ; no gapless playback
  
  Verdict: A well-priced, high-performing and stylish audio player. Its simple operation and management will appeal to most people but a couple of key features are missing. Overall, this is an excellent contender from Sony

  Review summary: Sony adds drag and drop to its video Walkman, is it enough to finally kill off the competition?
  
  Verdict: With the Walkman NWZ series, Sony has finally created the nano killer the NW series always should've been. Being able to drag and drop files to it makes managing your music a breeze, while the superior sound quality and bundled headphones round out ...
