Sony are looking to wow you with the Walkman's OLED screen

The last time I played with a Sony personal media player, it was a horrible experience – the interface was a work of the devil designed to stop you from using the thing in any constructive way. Thankfully, times have changed, and the brand's NWZ-X1060 is a good deal more accommodating.

You no longer have to jump hurdles to move files around – a simple drag and drop will do – and the touchscreen interface is a joy to use.

The model reviewed here has a capacious 32GB drive (enough for 120 hours of video), although a cheaper (£210) 16GB version is also available.

The feature set is tempting: wi-fi connectivity, YouTube, noise cancelling headphones, web-browser and a super-sharp 3in 16:9 OLED display. There's also an FM radio.

1. Dont Buy this. After spending £180 on this it stopped working after 7 months. Sony claimed it was liquid contamination which is not covered by guarantee. However the player has not been near any liquids. Sony dont want to know and the vendor Play.com have ignored letters. I now have to go to the small claims court. Save yourself the hassle.
