Is the NW-A608 still worth the wait in the US?

[rtsai]

ive been a sony supporter for sometime, and ive been waiting for the a608 to come out in the US, but so far it doesnt seem like sony has solved software issues. i preferred sony because they have had been one of the manufacturers with better sound, the battery life on sony products are uncomparable to anyone else, and plus their products look different. Although id have to admit the 4 gig nano is probably more ideal for me because thatll pretty much fit my music collection, but the battery life on it isnt as good, and ive known too many people with ipods that have had problems. i think the ideal mp3 player would be one that was 6-8 gig flash and have a battery life like an a608. what do you guys think?

just buy the a608 from canada

US people can easily buy A608 from Canada .As it is available in plenty there .

As said before Flash based player will definately come with 8Gb by some other seller like Apple but don`t except this that Sony will release 8Gb before Apple .

I love my A608. Battery life is awesome on it! We just drove from Ottawa to Halifax and it played all the way hooked up to car stereo (20 hour drive).

Connect Player still sucks for those who have a large music library (15,000 tracks in mine).

If I hadn't already been into MiniDisc and used to SonicStage, with a library already in ATRAC3plus, I would have probably gone for iPod.
