Yes - the iPod charger is 5.1v, and the Walkman is 5v. Use the Sony USB cable & it will charger just fine (Sony NWZ-Z1040 charged with Ipod/Ipad/Iphone USB charger confirmed).
buy an ipod.
No, you cannot charge an iPod with just any mp3 charger. You must have a charger made specifically for the iPod. Even if an mp3 charger happens to fit into an iPod, do not attempt to charge it as it may short circuit the internal workings of the iPod and kill your iPod forever.
Both the sony walkman mp3 player and iPods have their advantages. The walkman is a little cheaper, and has longer battery life. The iPods are neater, have more memory, have flash memory, and have many extra uses. Overall, I would say the iPod is better.
Yes it should only if the charger is for the Ipod touch.
no
Walmart has the sony ericcson walkman now. I just saw it there last week, however, its about the price of the ipod touch, so I would probably just get that.
to charge
yes
If you plug your iPod into a computer or wall adapter, you can charge your iPod Touch.
All ipods have the same type charger so any ipod charger will work with any ipod
No, the sony walkman is not an old video game system. It is actually a radio that comes with headphones. It was invented long before the ipod. Many people used them while jogging or working out.
YES! you can only use an IPAD charger or other Ipod DEVICE!
