NW-A608

The NW-A608 is the first 2GB model in the first-generation A Series flash family. It offers built-in storage for ATRAC, MP3, and WMA playback on a black-and-white OLED display and achieved up to 50 hours from a lithium-ion battery. It includes an FM radio tuner. This model represented the highest-capacity flash variant in the initial A Series generation derived from the NW-E500 line.

The highest-capacity model of the first flash A Series and the strongest version of that early premium formula. It showed Sony beginning to treat the A Series as a serious destination line instead of a side experiment. The A608 felt more deliberately positioned as a higher-end object, with more emphasis on refinement and status than on novelty or playfulness.
