Usability is also enhanced with this model as the device utilizes both touch panel operation and a hybrid button system to improve upon the navigation experience."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1231936125.usr20447.jpg" style="border: 0px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>Sony revealed its rumoured touch-enabled Walkman at CES 2009.&nbsp; The NWZ-X1000 strikes back against Apple's iPod Touch and is armed with several new features to do this.&nbsp; It includes digital noise cancellation, an OLED touch screen and Wi-Fi connectivity with web browsing and YouTube support.&nbsp; The walkman itself is also smaller than the iPod Touch, making it very pocketable.&nbsp; The interface looks fairly slick, and the hardware buttons are a nice touch, however will it be enough to act as a strong competitor to the iPod empire?&nbsp; Without a direct analog to the iTunes store, I'm not holding my breath.</p>

Mind you, the iTunes store is all MP3 now so it's really just a matter of dragging and dropping from your music folder.

AAC (MP4), actually (which this Sony allegedly supports). And they are not all non-DRM yet.
