dazzjazz Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 I have an N10. It's my first MD and I love it (even though it did lose an entire field recording once). I'm just wondering if anyone has heard of plans for something to replace it ? I guess all of us are waiting for a uploading to PC feature, and I was hoping that whatever flagship MD Sony releases next would include that. Also the Pitch Control could sound a little better. I know the N10 is the 10th aniversary model, so maybe they won't delete it so soon. Heard anything? Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_visiting Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 The latest MD recorder unit from Sony is the R910 NOT the N10. The N10 is an anniversary unit so it won't be replaced. The R910 will be very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 did u mean the N910 is getting replaced soon?? because the R910 was out quite a while ago before the N10 was released... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazirker Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 If you're in the US, Sony typically releases new models around March of each year. You can usually import them from Japan earlier if you want. As for any word on next year's models, I haven't seen any press releases yet, although it's getting to be about the time of year where Sony starts announcing new MD models. It is possible that there won't be any new models next year, although Sony needs to add uploading capabilities or reduce downloading restrictions if they want to stay competitive in the portables market. I doubt either will happen until the Sony Electronics vs Sony Entertainment battle dies down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazirker Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 Ha! Found it! http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.02/sony.html For other articles like this one, get on google and type in "sony vs sony". I found several articles that I hadn't even seen before, I just think that this specific article is the best one. (It's also the most recent....Feb 2003.)

dazzjazz Posted October 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Thanks man - very interesting. My bet is that one day we'll get an MD that uploads music that was recorded via Microphone and we'll all live happily ever after !!!!

Bazirker Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 I hope you're right, because I don't think Sony will ever implement uploading for NetMD...but I hope they will! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenmasteR Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 The N10 was the update for the N1, the R910 was update for 901/90 I suspect a N100 or N20 will be released/announced unless Sony are gonna cancel minidisc and move to PSP and/or their secret IPOD killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
