The Sony HMP-A1 could have been the video iPod if it weren't for the requirement to convert the video and audio files into a different format, which makes transferring files an annoyance. At a whopping $700, the 20GB A1 is vying for customers who would consider multimedia intensive PDAs, portable DVD players, and higher capacity digital audio players. If you're a fashion conscious commuter, the A1 is sleek, small, and offers great picture and sound quality. Just don’t forget your headphones.
