Interview with an iPod killer: Sony NW-E507

So, Sony NW-E507, how do you plan to beat the iPod?
One of us will face the future, and one of us faces eternal darkness.

Right. You're the same size and shape as the iPod Shuffle, what makes you better than Apple's offerings?
I've got a serious-looking 'organic' LCD screen and a 50-hour battery life. Yeah, you heard me, fifty hours. When the iPod Shuffle runs out of steam, I'm going to throw him over the top rope, drag him down Know Your Place Avenue and check him into the Smackdown Hotel.

The iPod has had its fair share of challengers, but every time a fighter steps into the ring to take on the Shuffle, the fight is over in seconds. Is a long battery life going to give you the stamina to go the distance?
Does the iPod play WMA files? No, it does not. Does the iPod look like the future? No, it does not. Can the iPod charge for 3 minutes and then play back for 3 HOURS? NO! Don't make me flex my abs at you! To the iPod I say: make your way down here and get in this ring and feel my fire, cause you're gonna burn... BURN! -CS
