I don't think Sony really thought too much about incorporating an MP3 player into their device, but decided that it is almost too simple NOT to build one in. MP3 players are so darn cheap to manufacture and take up little to no space, they probably only spent a fraction of a second in deciding how to thro it into the mix, case in point: the clunky interface for playing music, lack of sorting/grouping, etc. It's nice to have it there, but I don't use it.
