It's noted here that there were some new Sony headphones unveiled that include the apple inline remote. I can't find any details on them anywhere. Does anyone have details of them? http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/09/09/apple_refreshes_ipod_classic_ups_capacity_to_160gb.html

Even CD players had the ability to queue a personalised tracklist. And now Sony's mp3 players don't even allow you to do this. I'm now in 2 minds with this player. Currently I have an ipod touch, and the sound quality sucks, and I'm dying to get some decent Sony sound quality back. What held me back going back to Sony in the past was that they didn't have 32GB capacity. Now they have the capacity, but not the functionality of an ipod. It's getting close, but they are pricing their player at the same level (or in the case of HK, more) as the ipod touch. But I just know if I get one, I'll be moaning about the fact that I'm losing all these ipod features. And it seems like a lot of money if I only use it as a music player and don't use the browser and other features. Is the sound quality worth the trade off in features??? That's what I'm struggling with.

So no on the go playlists at all?

Anyone know whether the X series supports on the go playlists? I hope so...ever since Sony went to Windows Media, you haven't been able to create a playlist on the device

In the UK, Sony has priced the new walkman in line with the ipod Touch. I don't know why Sony Australia thinks they can charge such a massive premium.

Looks like the price in Australia is $A799 for the 32GB version. That's a crazy price compared to $549 for the ipod touch. http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/2992...-series_walkman

Well the ipod touch is going to have A2DP built in soon. So the value proposition of this X-series just decreased...typical Sony always on the backfoot.

play.com now says release date is 30-March !

So is it confirmed this x-series doesn't have bluetooth built in? Will the DM Port Walkman dongle work with it?
