Remotes On Flash Walkmans

[stargazer_tom1]

Hi i was wondering why sony has dropped remote connectivity on their most recent DAPs?

Does anyone know if any future walkmans will have the ability to connect a remote? I want to upgrade from my a1000

Thanks

don't count on it, unless the remote has bluetooth built into it.

For once someone who think like i do!!!

I solved the problem but it costs a pretty peny.

Get the WLA-NWB1 and some BT Earphones that support AVRP and your problem is solved.

I said it wouldnt be cheap but considering remotes retail for $100+ this solution isnt to bad at $180+

I got the WLA-NWB1 and the motorola s705 and only cost $150 AUD on eBay, maybe you will be lucky too.

And also it works!

Pause, Play, Rewind \ Previous Track, Fast Foward\ Next Track

But unfortunatly no shuffle or repeat off\on,

Hope this helps

Thanks for the info,

A wireless remote sounds great!

So wired remotes have been faded out then?

Until they decide to make one, but judging on responces here i dont think there will be.

Considering the only way would be through the wm-port i dont see it happening

I think they are concentrating on bluetooth now..............wireless is the way to go. Sony Ericsson has developed a watch that will integrate with your mobile phone. It's a nice touch but ludicrously expensive.Personally, I think it is a good idea, I had a remote for my HD1 but I found it very cumbersome.

Wireless is definitely a great way to enjoy your music. I have brought my walkman and bluetooth headphones from www.yesasia.com. Btw they have those so called Japan only walkmans such as NW-S71X and NW-A91X, with all those softwares and nice stock earphones. That's one way to get bluetooth stuff, walkman and other stuff if you want
