0 shirleywhite Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi allThanks to C.Mil for the HongKong link. A detailed specification there - with some interesting extra details !! Firstly - did we know for sure there was FM radio?? The spec says Yes! (I must have missed that) After all our worries re battery life - we are looking at 33 hrs (9 hrs video!! Not bad at all!!)The browser stuff interests me a lot - what is "Internet Browser*11" ??? Or "Netfront Browser for Walkman" ??? Anyone any ideas?? It's getting nearer folks!!! Come on the "DANDRUFF PLAYER" !!! LOL ( copyright Juli !!) Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 juli Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Thanks C.Mil for the link Hey, Shirley, those specs are not shabby at all. 9 hours for video is incredible, the Touch is about 4 hours, so that's a huge leap.Oh, I love it when the little details start appearing I'll go post the link on Head-Fi now, see if anyone can figure out more about the internet browser thingy.And yeah, we knew it had radio, but actually, I'd forgotten until you mentioned it again, ha ha.

0 shirleywhite Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hi all.Been looking again at the HongKong specification which C.Mil linked to earlier. I thought the Browser part had said (under Wifi) "Internet Browser 11" But I think the "11" should have been in smaller font ............. and in fact is referring to "footnote 11" at the bottom. And disappointingly ( though maybe not surprising !) that note says "device not able to show flash nor download".I was fully expecting the "no download" - but rather disappointed in the "not show flash" comment??!! And - not just disappointed - but rather baffled?? Supposed to be able to see Youtube videos ??? But arent those "flash videos" anyway?? What exactly does "device not able to show flash contents" really mean?? Are we into similar territory as with my Archos 605 player?? Some content on some sites is viewable - some isnt. Depends on the encoding ie which version of Adobe has been used?? It's all rather baffling at the moment - the wait is killing me - just hope the browser part of the "dandruff" isnt as "crippled" as I fear it might be!!!Regards.

0 juli Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hey Shirley, the iPoop Touch can't show flash content either, it has nothing to do with videos. I can watch youtube videos or any other video on it. I think (can't be sure) that certain sites don't display in the correct format without flash content.I brazenly copied this from the link below http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8963192It's COMMON knowledge that Flash is not supported in the Apple iPod touch or iPhone.Flash is an Adobe product - not Apple. Apple can't just magically make a product by another company.It doesn't say anywhere in the iPod touch specifications that it will support Flash. However, it does say everything that it does support.that's a biggie, because without that you can't watch much of the content from the internetFlash is not the internet. Flash is just one of many third-party proprietary plugins which some sites use. It is not a standard part of the internet, nor part of any Internet standards which the iPod touch supports.There are plenty of standards-based ways to view video and audio on the internet. If individual web-sites choose to use proprietary technologies, then complain to them, not Apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The specifications page says this is all it includes:CD-ROM ("Windows Media Player 11", "Media Manager for Walkman", "Content Transfer", "Operation Guide"), Headphones, Ear Buds (S/M/L), Quick Start Guide, USB Cable, Attachment, Audio Input Cable, Plug Adaptor for In-flight Use (single/dual)So most likely no Media Go software.EDIT: I just found out there will be a 32GB version of the Cowon S9 released sometime this month. I'm seriously considering buying one of those instead of the Sony as it is far more superior in battery life (55h) and has bluetooth, flash, 16 million colour AMOLED screen, etc. Pretty much everything I wish the Sony had.

I'm seriously considering buying one of those instead of the Sony as it is far more superior in battery life (55h) and has bluetooth, flash, 16 million colour AMOLED screen, etc. Pretty much everything I wish the Sony had.I'm still thinking about the Cowon D2+ 16GB+32GB card = 48GB. FLAC-support mean lossless lots of albums (I estimate about 150), great batterylife..BUT.....the reports about cowon SQ are generally less positive then those of Sony, complains about small soundstage and cold sound with not enough bass, especially into low impedance phones, like my beloved 16 ohms Sennheiser IE, so I'll probably wait for the first reports about the new Sony.

0 shirleywhite Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi allI just had a look at the Cowon - very nice looking piece of kit - but (unless I'm wrong) I think it just plays music and vids?? No browser? Back to the "dandruff" !! Looked even more closely at the Spec on the HK link. Under "interface" it says WM-port and then Hi-speed usb - I'm reading that to mean just physically the same/single wm dock port on the bottom ( NOT a mini usb as well ??)More intriguingly .............. under supplied accessories we have " usb cable " ( which I'm seeing as the same wm plug one end and standard usb other - exactly same as 800/810/820/630 series - so i've got several spares!!) BUT then it says "attachment" (WHAT????) but then "audio input cable"!!! What exactly is that??? Anyone got any ideas?? This wait is killing me - someone please get hold of one of these and post a review soon!!Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Anthony Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 May 10th is a disaster for me. There is huge pressure on my savings, they may be gone by May 10th. Advanced MP3 players have me driven crazy with their special offers on the Cowon D2 at the moment, no bluetooth though which is a problem for me. ......P.S.......I know the dandruff has no bluetooth either but I have the adaptor thingy, I presume it will connect to the WM port (like my 818).

0 Anthony Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I forgot to add..I saw the new wearable Walkman in my local Sony centre yesterday. It looks cool actually, great for cutting the grass or gardening (no wires). Very good value too at €69. 2GB is pointless though, turns it into a toy really.
