Why was it called Network? If the first one came out in 1999, it doesn't seem like it could have streamed music. Cellular connections would have been too slow and wifi didn't really exist.

The name refers to its ability to connect to a computer for transferring music.

Another one I'm missing. Had a NW-E000. Loved it. Stopped using it when bought my Xperia S. Years later wanted to sue it again, but battery got inflated and broke the player. Considering seriously to buy another one on ebay.

I had a couple of these for using with the Rhapsody music service in the late 00s / early 10s, plus any filez I bought. Small, elegant, sounded great, easy menu. Ridiculous battery life.
