bogon07 Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 SV-SD570V, looks tooo big (Dinosaur ) but their battery life is also xlent but i think they are still expensive b`coz they don`t come with a memory .. Stuge the site has a link to Panasonic's spec page which has the dimensions of the unit 57.5mm x 45mm x 15mm @ 37-25grams. So the SD570 would be about as wide as an A1000 but shorter and weigh a lot less. Atleast this one looks better than Panasonics previous square box model from last year.The biggest draw back is having to get an SD card on top of the cost of the player but with flash card prices dropping they way they are these days it could become economical to get a couple of 512MB or 1GB cards in the near future. I wonder if Sony will be tempted to try one of these players ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 D.Sound DSP = teh total evil. Overly processes MP3s into really bright and harsh mess. In theory, this would be a good idea, but the execution thus far has been less than ideal.And in the current market, where one can have 1GB of built in memory and color display (Samsung, Apple, Sandisk Sansa) for the same price as these... I smell total disaster the likes of which only Sony and replicate. And then some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogon07 Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I smell total disaster the likes of which only Sony and replicate. And then some.By using only original Sony Memory Sticks rather than SD cards. Or Playstation memory cartridges.And yet another unique USB connector.Is AAC some sort of format for mobile phone music files ?I wonder if Panasonic is using Sony's OLED display technology on these units? Pity Panasonic didn't have a go at Hi-MD Minidisc instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
