TrustedReviews has posted up a review of the Sony S2 Sports Walkman NW-S203F MP3 player here on their website. This is one slick flash based digital audio player from Sony. Yes it plays back digital music but it’s far more than that – it’s a gadget designed specifically for the athletes out there.

How is it for athletes? There are three specific “Sport Assist” functions built into the player. They are as follows:

  • Calorie Counter - keeps track of how many calories you’ve burned based on your weight and length of workout
  • Target  Settings – allows you to set the amount of time you want to work out so the music turns off once the time limit has been reached. You can set calorie targets and distance targets as well
  • Built in stop watch allows you to track your speed

Other features on the NW-S203F include:

  • 1GB of memory
  • Shuffle Shake – when the LCD screen is face up – shake the MP3 player three times to switch the shuffle feature on. Shake it three more times to turn it off. (how about some cool way to shuffle the songs by shaking too?)
  • Music Pacer – create both running and walking playlists to match your mood
  • Water resistant
  • Built in FM Tuner
  • 1 line OLED display
  • Quick Battery Charge
  • 18  hour battery life
  • 5 Mode equalizer
  • WMA and AAC support
  • Skip Proof
  • Multi language display
  • USB 2.0 support

Here’s the verdict from TrustedReviews:

Once I had gotten over the annoyance of changing settings in the menu system, I actually quite liked this player.
