  1. Woah this is awesome looking, I was wondering why the logo for the forums changed on the main site. The new logo looks great and same for the forums, very pro looking.
  2. Indeed it is, must have misread late last night. i guess the screen is the same as the old A820 series?
  3. nice here are the pages http://www.materiel.net/ctl/MP4/50216-NWZ_...Black_8_Go.html http://www.materiel.net/ctl/MP4/50034-NWZ_...lack_16_Go.html Fm tuner, 2 inch screen (fail) looks like I was close on those prices 129 and 149 euros.
  4. hmm I don't know, I still think the numbers have some meaning.
  5. Darkside, I only saw these 2 models, perhaps more will be added but 32gb could make the device cost too much perhaps, again not sure. But my guess is that another S series could debut such as a new 700 series with higher capacity? But I doubt it seeing as this new S series went from 600/700 naming to 500 naming. Perhaps the new A series will not be 800 but instead 700? or even 600 E44x S54x A64x? Looks weird, they should stick to 800 and 900 for the A series.
  6. Some initial info for the new S series 2 different capacities, 8 and 16 GB 8 - NWZ-S544 price around 128 euros 16 - NWZ-S545 price around 144 euros Not sure but the 16 gig model may only be black colour for europe, although not sure elsewhere. I was told shipping before mid to end of september.
  7. model number is AK8PCG1R2L It has the same width as the current model so I am assuming this is the updated P series. I just checked and the old P series was PCG-1P1L and PCG-1P2L. The release date for the external images and manual are for October 30th according to the FCC any other info is right here https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports...AK8PCG1R2L'

    New S-AIR products

    We have an an S-air unit from out AV system and while I think the idea of wireless speakers is fantastic and probably the way to go, the standalone unit which is just a speaker which we use in the kitchen is not the best sound quality, lacking any bass or mids at times. Plus from time to time it just cuts out so badly.
  9. Well I just checked the UK sony site and the new E is on the website already 3 models NWZ-E443 - 4GB NWZ-E444 - 8GB NWZ-E445 - 16GB It seems sony has changed the numbering on their players with the previous gen E series boasting a 6 at the end for a 4GB model. Also something not mentioned in the press release alarm function and timer and Useful voice recording, also apparently one can change the BG on the device as well Make it your own with a choice of different themes and even set your own picture as a background It mentions in the tech specs that no AC mains power adaptor is provided, which is cruddy, and I hope it is not just USB charging. I can't seem to find a price yet but I am sure these could be cheaper than the current batch of E series still on sale in canada.
  10. I am not expecting much from the new A series, if and when it debuts, probably just capacity bump, bigger screen and probably not much else.
  11. I am still waiting for the new A series, but if it does not debut before the satio, then I will probbly grab that, or the X3 xperia hmm.
  12. agreed, it is faulty take it back to the store and get a replacement.
  13. Not sure, would want to see it as well, especially if I could use cue sheets which I could make at home for home made mixes. It will be interesting to see if sony does launch any new players, atraclife/sonyinsider has not been wrong on the walkman side of things before.
  14. I only buy sony walkmans for their build quality and sound quality, but the x series is too expensive to justify sound quality even if it is the best on the market. I could see myself paying, 300 tops for the X series.
  15. well there are new walkmans coming according to sonyinsider, but then of coure ipods and the ZuneHD which features the tegra cpu which is one powerful cpu. the X series is a nice audio device but falls short on video. Wifi is also not the best. besides the ancient CPU in the X series, it is overpriced for what it offers. If Sony would have kept the oled, and added more audio codecs, and removed wifi, it might have been priced more reasonable. Unfortunately the new walkmans will not be above the x series and from the article little info is known. here is the article http://www.sonyinsider.com/2009/06/09/goog...oduct-strategy/ So I would wait, since by the time the new ones come out, there will be other new players from other companies out as well and it might be that the X series will drop in price by then.
  16. I would advise you to hold out for a new audio player if you can for september or so.
  17. The x series has the WM-port so anything to do with the WM-port will work with the x series, including docks.
  18. hmm perhaps the rumours of the new walkmans could be true? since maybe the X series was a stop gap measure before the new ones are launched with much better tech and software?
  19. If I am able to get the player cheaper than in canada, I will purchase it overseas probably from england or the US, but otherwise if I can't get it cheaper, I will wait for the price to drop in canada or not get it at al.
  20. it has to be a typo since all on press pics it shows the MDR-NC22.
  21. well canadian press releasae mentioned in may, and only 32gb model, should be interesting how they price it and it is even released in may. and with the prices of the ipod touch here higher than a few months ago, $409 for 32gb model, I wouldn't be surprised if the sony is the same or even more expensive. maybe i'll just buy cell phone instead.
  22. as always no word from sony canada regarding the new x series, and I doubt it will even be on sale in may, probably only pre-orders.
  23. sony canada is in that basket as well
  24. both, since you can force it from MTP to UMS in windows using drivers, just like with all the other NWZ models.
