0 AntiPod Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 doclloyd// I just noticed that too....Ascariss//thanks for the infoaround 27 hrs for music....that's okay i guess....I was hoping for 35 hrs..6.5 hrs for video is not bad either...I will get one if it supports lyrics..oh btw from the sony eu site, it says "Plays approximately 60 hours of music or 15 hours of video"!!! (of course it's gonna be shorter in real life)the size is 8.8 x 4.4 x 0.9 cm (thinest part is 0.83cm)that's about the size of a nano, a bit thick thoughbut with the 2 inch screen and the awesome battery life, i cant wait to see when the real models come out in canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sdfzz_ Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 AntiPod// that's capacity...i thought the same thing, but that's not the battery life..well it is thicker than Nano, but it plays video and has better sound qualityIt looks better than Nano IMO as well..

0 pata2001 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I have to say the E01x look really sleek. By their looks alone, they are definitely an iPod shuffle killer. Some people might see them as lipsticks though. Glad that clear stereo and clear bass now standard on the low ends. The A80x are meh. I mean c'mon, this is 2007, not 2005. Screen res is only 320x240, video support likely to be as limited as the PSP. Plus, there is still sonicstage (not unicode). I wonder how video transfer is going to be done.Let's see how long will these come to the US, and which color. My guess is the white+black only, released in July 07.

0 ncl Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 sony style italy:http://shop.sonystyle-europe.com/SonyStyle...mp;id=spring07*WTF? 300€ for that? Damn...argh! no OLED and no mp3 support (i dont care for this one so much).Yes it is priced pretty high, its ipod 8 gig counterpart comes in at 260. Then again it looks like the A800's are bundled with the EX85 headphones which are worth a few quid in themselves. If the price drops after launch it could be interesting, having said that the capacity isn't big enough for me so i must await for my A3000 replacement battery to arrive!

0 markey Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 UK prices are as follows, £119.99 (2gb); £149.99 (4gb) and £199.99 (8gb). No noise cancellation on this one, though the earphones are good. Think I'll stick with my NW-S706 for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ascariss Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 sony style italy:http://shop.sonystyle-europe.com/SonyStyle...mp;id=spring07*WTF? 300€ for that? Damn...argh! no OLED and no mp3 support (i dont care for this one so much).lol what? no mp3 please read carefully, its called the MP3 video walkma, and I mentioned in my post on the other page that it plays MP3s.yes price is rather expensive and that is a shame. the price will of course hinder sales as always. I guess sony is demanding hte extra for the video and headphones.more info here:http://generationmp3.com/index.php/2007/03...w-a800-officieland on herehttp://www.dapreview.net/news.phpmenu is similar to old a series except, top 100 is gone and play mode is no longer on main menu.

0 Shinji Ikeda Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) The NW-A808 has been announced. The prices seem reasonable, since they are placed to complete with the ipod-nano (even though the are sized more like the Ipod). Per-usual they support long batter life, which is always good. This is one of the most important consideration I make for purchasing electronic good (and of course it has a rechargeable battery). I am very disappointed that it does not have noise cancellation. On S706F it is amazing, you never realize how effective it is until you turn the S706F off. The rest of the specs are very impressive. They could be better.Who knows they maybe a NW-A900 series with noise cancellation (Just wishful thinking).

0 lindijones Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Sony is a joke for everyone!!All the people I know are laughing about them.And: THEY ARE RIGHT!!!Podcasts in SS 4.3 will be a joke compared to iTunes. I bet. And no cool new idea. All the old stuff. They need a new user interface like a Trackpoint to scroll better through the lists.It seems nice but it is still a joke.

0 giki Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Umm, sony just sold a million more units.maybe that is a joke too!!!!and wait till this player gets going.Sony just might have the last laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Shinji Ikeda Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 For those that a carious the prices in Canada a slightly cheaper.The Walkman Video MP3 Player NW-A800 series will be available in Canada in May 2007 at an MSRP of $169 for 2GB, $229 for 4GB and $299 for 8GB. Of course this does not include taxes.http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive...7/01/c5640.htmlThat is a long time to wait to be able to test a model for Canadians, but I do not know when NW-A800 series will be available in my country.

0 thefanboy Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 lindijones,Sony has the wide range of mp3 players and innovative s7(noise cancel) in their list.Add amazing sound quality and great battery life to that..... bravias are selling well, sony ericsson is doing brisk business...ps3 is doing as much as sony expects(sony will increse marketing as soon as they can solve supply problem ). blu-ray is leading the hi def war.please tell me what is joke about all this..........[if you talk abt ps3 delay problems....well thats how it is when you work on cutting edge stuff. If you dont research and do just integration.....the world wud have been same boring thing. you know how gaming industry was before sony came ?]sonicstage 4.x version is decent enough. I am better with drag-and-drop, I dont like iTunes or sonicstage.listening to ipod after spending some time with s7(noise cancel) is just IMPOSSIBLE.So, what the heck is it with ipod/itunes....dont believe media, the media has enough fools who are afraid of writing anything on their own.....so its like somebody says xyz company is cool.....and every tom dick and harry in the media starts writing the same.if s7 happened to have come from the so called cool-company, media wud go gaga ....everybody will write in length abt what a cool and great idea it is. since it is from sony, they take it for granted. Sony's problem is more with their pr management.....media criticized/criticizes sony for pricing ps3 at 600 $, yet nobody talked a word when iphone was announced for same price.everybody I know who bought ipod shuffle is suffering to select the songs(without the display). yet media says it is innovative.....hhhmmmm there is a difference between innovation and non-sense...If not for the marketing, ipod shuffle shd have been the joke.... joke of the century...... well biggest joke in the history......

0 navsimpson Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Seems like they snuck in those new E010x models without anyone noticing! They even have colour screens. And what's with the weird ATRAC bitrates on the A800s? Does this mean they won't support 192, 320, 352 etc? That seems like an odd choice. -Nav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like an odd choice. -Nav Sony site doesn't mention everything .I'm quite sure these new walkmans will definately support new Atrac bitrate as well .in b/w acc to site Image converter 3.0 will be supplied .So Image converter will be used for transfering video.

0 DSP Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 well,sony is indeed doing fine, but they could do better.PS3 is going strong. It´s a great machine and they´ll surely get profits from it. people eventually will buy it, only beacuase it´s a playstation.It´s not innovative though. it´s just upgrading from an other product, just like MS did with the XBOX. It´s one hell of an upgrade, but there´s nothing that you couldn´t imagine before. Don´t get me wrong, i think PS3 is amazing. I do think that sony is thinking wrong when it comes to PS3 as media machine. They´re trying to connect it with PSP, walkmen etc. But not every-one owns a walkman or psp. And not every-one wants all those features in their machine. I think it´s a fault that many companies make. Everything has to be multimedia these days. Why?! PS3 is a great game machine, But don´t try to make more of it then it´s supposed to be.So I think it´s a cute idea, but sony has to watch out that they´re not going to bet too much money on these features.Walkmans.......well what do I say...I just love them...But sometimes I get the idea I´m the only one.I know exactly ONE person that own a walkman.....Most others own Ipods, creatives etc.For me sony is doing fine..NW-A800 has many sound related features wich I love, But for for most people it just won´t do.Ease of use could be way better... with superscroll, some kind of scroll-wheel, touchpad or something like that. Drop SSCP. I don´t care if they made it a MTP device. At least you can drag n drop your music. They´ll have more customers. and last but not least, marketing. Let people Know what you´re offering. Hang posters on every corner, radio commercials and TV commercials. Try to get one line in the walkman range. People seem to like it. ipods look the same since the very first. NW-A800 looks similar to NW-A!200 etc... so they´re going t wright direction. but it could be tighter...better. So that when people see one they´ll immediately know by the looks that it´s a walkman.and try to lower the prices. Lower price means more sales. Sonyericsson is doing good. They release very good and strong phones. I think their branding is very good. Cybershot an Walkman phones leave very good impressions. They just have to get a better hold of the low-end products. nokia and samsung are doing way better here. They could also try to make more stylish models an make use of high quality materials like metals and carbon. They could be more innovative. I think many of their current models look rather toyish...If I look at nokia, I se that they offer models that look classy and stylish. My favourite example: nokia 6131. Simpel, easy, classy yet powerfull and cheap.So I think SE is the est part of sony at the moment, but they could do a lot better too.So all in all sony won´t be crushed, but they have a long way to go before they can sit back and relax.greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 indeego Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hehe, I am sure kurisu and Ishiyoshi will soon publish something on the blog Btw, did you notice that the NW-A800 lacks the remote connector or did I miss it? Edit:There is none. Visit walkmanvideomp3.com for high-res shots and a video of the NW-A800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
