Hoping to take some market share from Apple in the world of digital-music players, Sony on Thursday began taking orders for its latest digital Walkman, known as the Bean.
While officially known as the NW-E300 line, Sony is marketing the new devices after their bean-like shapes. The palm-size devices are available in four jellybean-inspired colors: pink, black, blue and white.
A 512-MB version costs US$130 while a unit with 1 GB of storage is priced at around $180. Although the players will not be on the shelves until late September or October, Sony is taking preorders on its Web site.

No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of copyright based on the noncommercial use by a consumer for making digital musical or analog musical recordings.
I guessing this is meant to take on the iPod shuffle because it can't hardly take on the iPod itself. I'm actually getting tired of these smaller (ie. max 1Gb) mp3 players. What we need is a huge market of small, cheap 10-20Gb players because IMHO 5Gb is too small but 40-60Gb is way too much. Question, is there an iPod 10Gb or 15Gb available because over hear all I know is the 4, 20, 40, or the 60Gb?
The bean cant take on jack. The bean at best can take on a 128mb mp3 player that intel produced several years ago. If you take on something, its got to have style, storage, and accessibilty. As well as overall endurance, battery life.

A world of invisible people. We pass them without seeing them, as casually and indifferently as we pass our own reflections in store front windows. Do they really live among us? Or are they citizens of another country, a vast and teaming gulag of the dispossessed. No, don't turn away. Look in their faces. Do you see your brother? Your mother? An old friend? Someone you went to school with? Someone you once loved? No? You didn't see them? Not today. Tomorrow you could.
it's out of hand at the moment
