On-the-fly playlisting, FM tuner, G-Sensor functions, resistance to water and a pedometer complete the nice package.
The NW-S203F comes with 1GB of memory and goes for $120; it’s 2 gigs and $150 respectively for the NW-S205F. A model with 512MB of memory is also coming (NW-S202). All devices will come in three colors (black, pink!, silver) and are expected in September/October.
