Sony NWZ-B152F MP3 player: Gets out of my wish list, gets into my life

Last week, I finally gave in to my desires (at least, one of them anyway). I bought a Sony NWZ-B152F Walkman MP3 player, which happened to be on my gadgets wish list. Nope. I did not have a sudden and uncontrollable urge to splurge. I don’t have that much dinero to splurge with, in the first place.

While my original plan was to buy the Sony MP3 player sometime after Christmas, I found myself with no recourse but do so after my editor told me to do a story on a local television program that highlights how technology can help improve the lives of Filipinos. He told me to interview the talk show host.

The NWZ-B152F, despite its unwieldy name, is one highly mobile MP3 (and WMA) player from Sony's Walkman series of portable music players. It comes with 2GB of built-in storage, which is enough to hold up to more than 30 hours of music files.

People say the iPad is just a blownup iPod Touch. For me, however, I think the iPod Touch is an iPad at just about the right size. I have never been a big fan of the iPod, and I have always been a Walkman guy. In fact, my first portable music player was a Sony, way back when listening to music on the go meant being mobile with a Sony Walkman.

From the very first time I saw the iPod Touch, however, I have always dreamed of owning one someday. But because I had a Samsung MP3 player and a Philips portable media player then, I could not bring myself to blowing some 10K pesos for a new MP3 and video player. Even though it's a media player dubbed by the popular media as one of the coolest.
