The NWZ-A860 is the only one with the touchscreen in the bunch. Along with that 2.8-inch, 400 x 240 touchscreen display, you also get Sony’s Clear Audio thingummies, Bluetooth for streaming audio as well as transferring photos to and from another Bluetooth enabled device and 8 and 16GB of internal storage space. The two variants are priced at $179 and $219 respectively.
NWZ-S760BT loses the touchscreen and has a smaller 2.0-inch QVGA display instead but it too comes with Bluetooth and more importantly, a pair of Bluetooth headphones bundled with it. It has a claimed battery life of 50 hours for audio and 10 hours of video playback. It comes in two colors, black and white in 8GB capacity for $149.
Then there’s the NWZ-E460, which similar to the NWZ-S760BT but lacks the Bluetooth support. It comes in five colors, black, red, blue, green and pink, and in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB options for $79, $89 and $109 respectively.
Lastly there is the NWZ-W260, which is said to be 25% lighter than its predecessor and more comfortable to wear. It has a claimed battery life of 8 hours and comes in 4 and 8GB storage capacities for $59 and $79 respectively.
Sadly, none of these are dramatically different from their older models and in fact apart from a couple of features here and there, are mostly identical to their predecessors. I think it’s time Sony starts making ‘smart’ media players like Apple, Samsung and Cowon, if it really wants to keep the segment alive.
