I purchased an X1060 in July. I am coming from a NW-A808 and have found that some functionality that the 808 has is missing from the 1060. Hopefully Sony will be able to address some of these issues in future firmware updates. The sound quality and design is great and overall it is a great device, but these points are disappointing.
Play Screen Song title should scroll; currently if the title is longer than about 15 characters you need to select option menu and then detailed information to see the full title.Year and Genre should be displayed – again need to go to detailed information for this information.Pop-up on new song option is not availableWhen flick scrolling too quickly the album art is not updated and all you see is the default walkman cover art (two little semi-circular arrows).When searching by album the album art is slow to update, even if you do not flick the list too quickly. I recently checked the iTouch (gasp) and the interface seems allot snappier and seamless. This may be because there was very little media on it compare to the 10G that I have on my 1060…Add to favourites is not available.Search by playlists gives a list of recent media entries but no indication of when the media was transferred.Recent media (music) can only be searched by song, not by album.The x1060 does not have the extensive search capabilities that the 808 has. The 808 can search by specific artist, genre, year just by clicking on the artist genre or year field currently playing. Media Go Even though user sets to transfer media format to MP3 128k (and it does convert and transfer as this rate) the bit rate appears as the origional bit rate on the X1060ID3 tag information in the file is not updated when changes are made.Updating album art from CDDB does not work consistently for pre-existing music, OK when ripping CDs though.

Album art when transferred is of a low quality and operation is inconsistent especially when using AAC formatID3 tag information in the file is not updated when changes are made.Updating album art from CDDB does not work consistently for pre-existing music, OK when ripping CDs though Accessories A serious lack of availability.
