I went to play with this Sony X series walkman yesterday, the display unit at SOny Style in Time Square Plaza, too bad there's no song, only one actually but it's not the song that I like so I don't even bother to test the SQ, so I tried to play around with its other functions, first I tried the you tube and surfing net, I've to say that it's pretty disappointing, it took ages for the pages to load... so I closed the app and tried the photo app, the home button is very nice BTW, very nice to press in comparison to the iPod touch one, the photo viewer wasn't that bad, very nice screen display, after that I tried the video, the small screen seems to be quite a disadvantage for watching video, so I think if anyone of you were pondering btw an iPod touch and this sony x-series, if you're not so fussy about the SQ, iPod touch would be better the Sony for the functions, I'll pass with the Sony X-series, looking forward to the Zune HD now or iPod touch 3rd gen may be
