Ah, I should've known! Maybe if I knew the F-series was android then I would have figured it.

What's the app called, might I ask?

 
Espier Launcher. Once you download it, you will have an app that will allow you to download the iOS 7 theme as well as the lock screen theme if you want it and notification center theme if you want it. The best part of it all is, the theme is a hybrid of Android and iOS because I still have widgets and stuff so I get the best of both worlds.

Potentially, but I got this 32gb Walkman for around $200 while a 32gb iPod Touch goes for $300. Moreover, and iPod does not have the equalizer capabilities, sound capabilities, etc. capabilities that this Walkman does. I am content with my Walkman.

 
There are equalizer apps, and some of them work quite well, but I don't think there's anything that can duplicate the Sony Clear Bass. Can't argue with a $100 price difference either.

I am also hoping this Walkman will last me a long time because Apple makes their devices so that they begin to break down after a year or two. For example, after a year or so you cannot update to the newest software on Apple devices but that maybe the case with Sony too. But your points well taken

Well it is better than the "audiophile daps" I bought...in general you need to wait for 10 updates for them to work correctly :)

Well, breaking down and not being able to run the newest software are two different things. I have an iPod from 2006 that works perfectly, long after being discontinued. In reference to the iOS devices, yeah, after a couple years the player might struggle with the newest software, but that doesn't mean that it stops working altogether with the older software either.
 
As to your Walkman, as an Android device, it will be interesting to see how it goes forward from here....does yours have Gingerbread,  ICS or Jellybean?

Cowon J3=>ATH-ES10

Looks sweet!
Haven't seen someone with the standard J3 UI in a long time, though :D

Did you already take a look at all the other cool options?

Your point is well taken. I think, however, with with DAPs like iPods that do not have any "special" software, the situation is a little different. Nevertheless, I gotcha. As for my Walkman, it is running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) .
