You need to have a Max Mosley-style tolerance for punishment to take on Apple's iPod touch. Pretty much every company that's tried has been the recipient of a serious whipping. But, when you're the company that invented the Walkman, it must be impossible to resist having a go. It has to be said that the 16GB Sony Walkman NWZ-X1050 and 32GB NWZ-X1060 look pretty good, as they not only have an OLED screen but also boast video playback, Wi-Fi and an FM tuner.
The NWZ-X1050 is available for around £190, while the NWZ-X1060 costs around £250. As the only difference between the two is the amount of storage they offer, you can get the lowdown on the NWZ-X1060 by reading our full review of its sibling, the NWZ-X1050.
