bjsilva Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Does anyone know the worldwide sales (est?) figures of the NH1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Good question.These types of figures are hard to obtain, and the only services I've seen that offer this data charge out the rear. I do know that Hi-MD outsold the iPod in the UK during Christmas '04.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering what the market (in potential numbers) is for developing an external battery adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjsilva Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 What about general HiMD sales? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I really have no answer for you, and contacting Sony about such matters will get most people nowhere, regardless of affiliation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read a reasonable amount of posts from people on this forum where the lack of an external battery pack is an issue, some opting for the NH900 simply because of this. However, I have no handle on the MD community as a whole and whether taking the time to develop such a product would be worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 It would be a worthwhile endeavor, but the most ideal way to market it is to sell it through an e-tailer, perhaps like Minidisco.com and also have us mention it on the front page of Minidisc.org.

claretkid Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 The lack of a charge input into the NH1 is the second most irritating feature - the most irritating is the lack of USB connection to the docking station. The unit requires a USB type connector to a suitable charger - all it would need is a short piece of cable with rhe female socket to the AC adaptor on one end, suitably wired to a USB plug on the other. I'd do it myself if I knew how, otherwise you have to take the dock with you everywhere. An external power pack like the AA bolt on for the N10 would also be very useful, perhaps the 2 items could be packaged together? They could be used together to connect the battery pack to the MD unit. Count me in if you ever make one. Anyone know how the 'USB' plug on the docking station is wired for the charger?

I ordered a NH900 because of tthe battery.I made this (crude) charger for the cradle because I holiday in Greece and the mains is very dodgy.
