In a lot of ways, giving a MP3 player this kind of form factor can provide a number of advantages. Most obviously is that it is easy to connect to your PC!

The image you see here is believed to be the yet unannounced and unreleased new Sony MP3 players. Some images floating around show a very tiny, single line display for track info that virtually ensures migraines if you try to read it.

The A-series player is rumored to be available in 512MB, 1GB and 2GB capacities at up to $180 US. The most unique feature of these MP3 players is the integrated USB connector. No need to have a USB cable on you should you decide to forgo the monthly reports while at the office and download some tunes via the company T1. Source: Everything USB
