Leon Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 No English reviews simply because there isn't much enthusiasm about this model among us... here's a Japanese one: http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/av/docs/200...20725/npp32.htm I'd be happy to help translate this one, but not today, I've got exams coming up... tell me what you want to find out and I'll do it within the next few days.

Guest Anonymous Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Well this helps , i'll try to translate it hehe hope it goes okay ^^;;. Anyways why are the Panasonic units not so popular? I know they aren't nearly as mainstream as sharp or sony but i've had panasonic units (not MD) in the past and they've all worked out nicely ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Uhm, because we're dumb brand followers and don't know better? Just kidding. Sony's the creator who's made themselves responsible for proliferation, and the survival of Sharp's entire audio division hinged on their achievements in MD, so these two companies seem to be more dedicated to engineering MD portables that attract us. I was a big Panasonic fan until 2 or 3 generations into their MD portables - they really aren't as well thought out as Panasonic's earlier CD and cassette portables IMO. Instead there was quite often the tendency to slack and attract people with specs (battery life, size), sacrificing real performance/utility in the process. I read the comment somewhere that since Panasonic is huge (Sharp only has like 1/6 the number of Panasonic's outlets in Japan), they tended to take things easy and assume they'll have current owners as dedicated customers who'll sign on to the new products... and I agree wholeheartedly. The Japanese review is really very good - lots of detail is the norm and not the exception for these guys - they've got a way of reasoning that makes so much sense to me.
