I think it is just ugly really.  Ipod shuffles are cheaper, and iPods are easy to use.  Plus I bet the bean accesories would suck:P

"Is that a Bean in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

They choose to make it look like a bean so it would be easy to fit it in your hand.

I think this looks pretty cool, what wasn't in the news article is other features. They claim that with a 3 minute charge, you can get 3 hours playback time, and on full battery you can get upto 50 hours playback time.

Also, I think it looks cool, it is not trying to compete with the iPod but with the iPod shuffle, there is a big difference.

imo, Sony makes way better stuff than Apple.

Clearly Sony was trying to make an MP3 player that was comfy to hold, but I never hold my MP3 player anyway, and I don't know anyone who does. It goes in my pocket and never comes out unless I need to abuse it.
And it hasn't got a big enough screen, so thumbs down for me :P

pwned:refuck:
But seriously it isn't like any one is going to hold there mp3 player over putting it in there pocket.  Maybe if they are running or something:undecided:  But iPod has all the accesories, and the shuffle is cheaper than it for more memory, so I don't think it will be a big hit.  But who knows...

nah, they look terrible...... its a ipod with more rounder curves, be quite nice to hold in ur hand though (like sprite bottles with the little dotty inner curves to hold em better if u know what i mean). and its a shit name. imagine somebody asking you what ur listening to and u have to tell em its called a Bean :| and I thought the iRiver was shit.

personally, i'll stick with my 20GB iPod [offtopic](which, if u wer wondering I got my brand new one off apple last week to replce my old one with the HDD failure, [THANX TODDY!]) [/offtopic]
