And for what it is worth... I do love Sony®. I really like Sony®, but as far as the disc wars go, I think HD-DVD is ahead due to Toshiba® really being aggressive on price and quality. I use the Sony hi-MD for recording, but they developed that and then abanonded it as a consumer item. So yes Mp3 did win. But is Mp3 better than ATRAC? I think not but the consumer devices that sprung up supported Mp3 since it was the format of illegal music distribution. We can thank illegal music distribution for the mp3 player. Not to say that mp3 is all bad, it makes for an adequate end product in audio encoding. Sony® makes excellent products, but they often go at it alone and eventually have to give it up for the mainstream anyway. Now where did I lay my Sony Mp3 player? Just kidding. I still use the hi-MD.
While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it's as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.
