No doubt you have heard of all the commotion surrounding the new iPod and Zune products. Now Sony, the original personal music provider, is back with the Sony NW-A840 to keep its footing in the race for digital music supremacy.
Sony’s NW-A840 will be available in late October of 2009 and the prices will range from $263 to $439, depending on the capacity.
