While SE’s “R306” does the job with a couple of nifty enhancements, it’s a pity the R306 is a basic, low-end 2G model rather than the latest 8 megapixel 3.5G Cybershot, but this also means it’s cheap, cheerful and does the job.

Available in stores pre-loaded with music from a range of popular artists and selling at an RRP of US $14.95 each, with some packaged with a Shuffle-like SanDisk player (on sale for US $20 alone) for a total of $34.95, is this a new front in the digital music revolution, or a waste of time in the face of the download reality?
