Still, considering Sony, this is actually a good thing. 4GB. I'd rather Sony use a 1 line with larger font, than cramp 3 lines + album art into that tiny space.

0 Dinko Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 The part I find interesting: "Line in".Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's a first for Sony NW players.Next step: include mindisc-style on-device editing of recorded tracks.

0 Ascariss Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Huh. I wasn't expecting this, and no info from sony, ie release? maybe monday? Still it leaves much to be desired since who knows when this will hit the stores. We just got the new S2 player in here in canada and it being 10 bucks more than the same E00 series (capacity wise), I worry when it comes to pricing for this new 700 series. Since competition is rather tight in the 4 gig market and seeing as apple. creative and sandisk are all moving to 8 gigs, it seems like sony is behind again. As well the 2 gig of the 700 will be more expensive than the E00 and S2, so the 4 gig could easily hit 200 bucks if not more. I like the battery life but it won't be 50 hrs in real world, the line in is interesting, but all new sony players "could" potentially have this, but sony choose not to use it in the A1000/3000. colours are a bit poor3 colors: Black, Pink, and Purple I am guessing the picture shows the black one? and the inner part will only be a different colour? here are the colourshttp://www.play.com/Search.aspx?searchtype....x=0&go.y=0availability is 10 october which is a wow since I rarely see sony introduce something and then have it go on sale right away. but this is europe only for now and I guess Japan. There is no info for canada, since I am assuming the US will be shafted again lol. Oddly enough no word on what software will be shipped with it (assuming CP4.0? please god no) or if connect player will work with it. As well no info if the screen is OLED or LCD on it.Another thing, where is the USB plug? not built into the side like the other players? and will use a normal usb cable? who knows. Another issue with recordings, can they be then donwloaded onto the pc and not be stuff on that one pc?Finally a link on that article leads to thishttp://www.dapreview.net/comment.php?comment.news.3644Also let us announce that in October, a new walkman from Sony should arrive in October. With a design ranging between the series E (for the total design) and the series S (for the system of navigation), this walkman which will have a memory flash of 1Go, can be 2Go, should also embark Bluetooth AD2P. Lastly, another product with color screen and greater capacity-memory would leave at the beginning of year 2007.bluetooth? why would you want bluetooth in an mp3 player? I see no purpose for it, unless someone would want to explain to me why you would need it. Too bad there is no mention of any other flash based players for this year, 2006, ie nov/dec release, since I was hoping to pick up one by then. The high capacity one seems to be the new HDD based player. screw hdd, I want flash damnit, 8 or 10 gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DSP Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 (edited) ohh my ohh my....bad move once again sony. Just released the nw-s series and allready planning another one? bad move!Like I said before, their prices are not right. The device looks tight and I like it better than a nw-e series, but the price isn't right and they souldn't realease this. They've got the nw-e series as flash line, and now the new nw-s series. Why do they have to realease another one?!they are going to end up with 3 different 'budget' flash player lines wich, I think, are too expensive.example: nw-e005 costs 140€ here in the netherlands (dixons store)while the new ipod nano 2GB costs 150€that's just 10€ difference! and for the average consumer, the nano looks far more expensive and feature-packed than the nw-e00X.So I think sony has to ditch this 3rd flash line and put their efforts in making the new HDD (or big capacity players) really, really good. The only way they can compete with the other brands.greetz Edited October 1, 2006 by DSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 aznbro85 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Soooo many idiots on engadgets site, it's just sadhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/01/sony-nw...layer/#commentsI agree with you Ascariss..I always have a love/hate relationship with Engadget. I go to them to read up on information about upcoming electronics and news pertaining to electronics, but I always expect a lot of Sony-bashing from the writers of their site, and even more so from the readers, based on their comments.

0 DSP Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I also agree with ascariss.I find it sad to see how these people talk about sony. These are just no rational people.you have to agree that everybody has it's own opinion and every company it's strong and weak points. Shure, a joke once a while is fun, but not like this. I bet the most of these people have never had a discussed device in their hands.I dislike Ipods.. but I don't talk about apple like that!I can see the good points of Ipod, and respect apple as a company and respect the people that love apple/ipod. it's all about respect it's just too sadI'm glad there aren't such people on atraclife. I really like this forum!greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny color screen... woop dee doo. Still, considering Sony, this is actually a good thing. 4GB. I'd rather Sony use a 1 line with larger font, than cramp 3 lines + album art into that tiny space.
