Sony's NW-S23 S2 Sports Network Walkman

Even despite our previous hopes (and their previous claims) that they'd be introducing MP3 to their Flash-based players, Sony's gone ahead and released a 256MB water resistant Sports version of their Network Walkman, the NW-S23 S2. They claim the battery gets 270 hours (of which we're highly skeptical), but it's 3.9 x 1.9 x 0.78-inches in size and is only USB 1.1. And yes, of course, it only plays ATRAC3. Highly disappointing, Sony, but we're sorry to say not surprising at all.
