Omar from Sony Europe walks us through the Sony S540 in this minute long piece of over-produced HD delight. Unfortunately, it really doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know.

According to Omar, the S540 plays music and video, has a 42 hour battery life for audio, 6.5 for video. It also has built-in stereo speakers, and has an FM radio, which it can also record from.

And of course, it is only 10.2mm slim. He doesn't have mammoth hands, it really is that slim! Video after the jump.

Looks nice, but expensive.

He said absolutely nothing, that makes that better than other devices. Its all standard stuff.

Question: How is this even news? I've had mine (S545/16gb) for over two weeks. Picked it up at Fry's Electronics for 129.99.

Andy... How is a high-quality/name-brand, full-featured 16gb media player for 129.99 Us expensive on any level? It's some 70.00 US less expensive than the Nano, and is far more media-capable (FM/Recorder/etc.), in addition to sounding excellent. Hmmm?

Thanks for pointing that out, DaHarder. I assumed it would be expensive like all their other players on the NZ market.

Why oh why Sony!!! I mean they are the best for music sound quality, the only company that comes close is Samsung. I have not had a Creative but I hear there good.

Sony should be where Apple is!!! Maybe they need to ask the public what we want, they just keep releasing the same shit, in a different form factor.

Lets have a 3.8inch OLED Screen, capacitive screen. Memory card slot, Bluetooth, a camera Sony G Lens around 3.2mp with a flash and 30fps video at VGA, Flash support, FM radio, Microphone, etc…

Then we have a devise worthy of making money.

0:37 wow, a screen that "does audio"

I got this player yesterday, and it's worth every penny of the price. Great sound, real buttons to push, and in black it doesn't look quite so Disney-ish.

I understand that those who own an S639 would not want this S545, because a few features are gone...so do the research people. I went into it knowing what features were there and I'm very pleased.

  • SanDisk Sansa Clip

    The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.

  • Samsung P3
    Samsung P2

    The Samsung P2 was a success and the P3 is a very welcome and substantial update. Samsung has paid close attention to users on P2 issues and made great strides in addressing and improving most of them. The best feature of the P3 is its native video support. Most content you thow at it will playback without conversion on the great looking screen. Stop by the Samsung P3 forums for more details or check out our indepth P3 review.

    Sure, many of us are not big fans of the walled garden, but there are a lot of great things going on with the Zune- sturdy hardware, ultra easy to use user interface, and a media player that is worthy of editor’s choice. The best part of the Zune is the constant firmware and software updates virtually giving you a new device at each major refresh. You can check out the latest Zune 120 & 16 review or stop by our Zune forums for the latest.

    The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.

    Phonak PFE

    Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely.
