Hey all!

I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now...

I don't know if i should get a NH1 or wait for the 2nd gen. The NH1 is seems so captivating and I'm really sick of use my lame portable cd player, but I'm worried the 2nd will be soo much better (ie 2gb discs, improved download speeds, etc.). I could really care less about native mp3 support. So anyone have any idea if the 2nd gen will blow away the 1st gen?

Thanx, any advice would be great.

At this point, you can wait, the new units are fumored for Fed/Mar release.

However, if you're jonesing for some HiMD action, a temporary fix would be to spend about $130(USD) to get a MZ-NH600D and go from there (either via eBay or Sam's Club)

Hi

Well, judging by the CES picture there isn't NH1 replacement amongst them. They all appear to be NH700 to NH900 equivalents. But if you can wait, I should until a feature list appears, then you can make an informed choice whether to hold on or to get an NH1.

orb_cz, the decison is really up to you. If you can live with your CD player a little longer than do so, it doesn't hurt to wait. However, if you'd rather jump into something now, you won't lose much if anything at all by buying a Hi-MD unit now. Since MP3 isn't a big deal to you the rumor of it's inclusion in future models shouldn't affect you. Also, the rumor is that 2gb media will be compatible iwth all Hi-MD models. This will be sweet if it's true. Good luck with your decison, Hi-MD has a lot to offer folks.
