I'm the schmuck that won the gold MZ-NH1 unit from Minidisco just recently...and am blown away by it. One thing I did notice: some of the pics show the USB cable plugged into the cradle. My cradle doesn't allow for it, though there is a traced "cut-out" where it looks like it SHOULD go.
So, I can charge the unit in the cradle that looks like a piece of art but to synch...I have to take it out and lay it on the desk? Uhh...mm-kay
Did sony just change this to allow direct cradle/USB charging and did I just get ver. 1.0? Just curious. It's def. something I can live with...but I gotta ask.
