Sony Walkman X-Series
While it is certainly on a par with the Touch in terms of audio and video quality, the Walkman just doesn't have the iPod Touch's readily available plethora of apps and accessories. A lower price would have given the Walkman the edge of being a less expensive, but still it's a high-quality alternative to the iPod Touch.
