0 bogon07 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 good find aznbro85,These S2 Sports™ Walkman® MP3 Players featuring an FM tuner, pedometer, stopwatch and calorie counter(!) in such a small package are amazing. Hopefully you can turn off the Shuffle Shake feature.Wonder if Sony has a replacement HDD player for the NWA1000-3000 due for release just after NW-S205F ?

0 kerfuffle Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Were I to buy a new Sony flash-drive player, I think I would buy the NW-E00x series. Paying an extra $100 for a bunch of fitness-related features?I can't see this going off in Australia (where it's expected to go on sale in October).

0 pata2001 Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I'm tired of waiting for this. At this point, the E005s seems like a better choice, the fact that you can get them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 aznbro85 Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 though all the fitness-related features seem interesting, i really think that the nike+ipod one would be much better (function and sales-wise). That project has the backing of two big american corporations that "can do no wrong" :\I havn't seen either in action, so i won't comment on that aspect of it.I would agree with you pata2001, except I kind of like the styling of the sports one and find it to be nicer than the E00x series. It's the first fitness walkman that I can think of that (1) looks good and (2) doesn't have a funky color scheme (at least IMHO) I'll be at SonyStyle San Francisco to nab one when it's out, even though I don't really need it (look at all the HD/MD/Flash walkmans i've gotten through the years @_@ )P.S. Great tagline Pata! Every time I see it, it makes me chuckle.. I've learned to love M$'s Applocale because of Sony USA's thinking that "kanji is the source of all evil" :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 OCedHrt Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 It's now "Add to cart" instead of "Pre-order" at US's Sony Style website. Seems like they play AAC too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rtn Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 http://www.appliancemagazine.com/news.php?article=10707Sony delays Japan Launch of New WalkmanSep 12, 2006Sony Corp said it will postpone the Japan launch of its new digital Walkman by 1 week over delays caused by a part malfunction. According to an AP report, the portable digital music player NW-S203F, which was slated to hit Japanese stores this Friday, will instead go on sale on Sept. 23, according to Sony official Takashi Uehara.The delay was due to the malfunction of a part used in the Walkmans, Uehara said, but refused to specify the part, the nature of the malfunction, or the number of units affected.The move came after Sony said last week it would push back the European launch of its PlayStation 3 video game console by four months due to production delays.

0 Zizone_ Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I am not too sure about the above article though. Because Japanese SonyStyle site has changed the NW-S203F status from "Coming soon" to "New Release." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 grenert Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I was hoping the player was being delayed to develop fitness software to compete with the iPod Nano + Nike setup. It doesn't look like that is the case. Seeing that the new Nano is made of aluminum and the Nike package has a nice software program/website to keep track of your progress, I think I may go with that instead. The original, scratch-prone Nano clearly had some problems as a fitness device, but the new anodized aluminum body should be very durable. I don't see much/any advantage of the S2 player, unless you absolutely don't want iTunes on your PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With only 2GB, this is made to compete against the shuffle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pata2001 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 This isn't made to compete with the Nano. With only 2GB, this is made to compete against the shuffle.Did you even look at the prices of the S2? At that price point, the obvious competition is the iPod nano, unless Sony decided to sell the units under $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
