Not to offend anyone, but what's the fascination with this shining garbage? A few decades back was the rhinestones, now this ...

Message to Sony:
Instead of looking for ways to make your products more and more silly looking, how about just making them more compatible and easier to use. Instead of forcing people to use your clumsy SonicStage (I think that was the name of it), offer them the ability to just drop the files into a folder and done. Or, make it compatible with MS Windows Media Player and/or WinAmp.

I'm surprised we haven't been hit with a "Hello Kitty" version. Maybe Sony doesn't want to pay Sanrio for licensing. But then again, I wouldn't be surprised if it's already been released "in Japan only."]]>Aug 16th 2007 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/
ipod: no drag and drop
ipod: has ugly u2, madonna etc. based special editions where you pay extra for colour schemes

And yet no one complains...]]>Aug 16th 2007 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/
I agree with you, Sony is not perfect, and neither is MS nor Apple. But Apple and MS have put out, and force you to use, programs that at least work well with their products.

Once Sony stops this forceful use of their software on consumers, and decides to go with drag and drop or use other popular programs that work well too, then things will change. Again, I like Sony products as much as the next guy, but SonicStage is an awful program full of bugs.]]>Aug 16th 2007 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/ipod: has ugly u2, madonna etc. based special editions where you pay extra for colour schemes"

Oh god, another tedious and obsessive ipod complainer.

"And yet no one complains..."

You just did. You're being overdramtic. This thread is about a Sony product, yet here you are moaning about the ipod. Enough people complain about the ipod, just google, but for some reason you're pretending to be completely unaware. Why?]]>Aug 16th 2007 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/

Diamonds I could understand (sort of), at least they have an actual value.]]>Aug 16th 2007 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/
And you can't get that many diamonds for $134.]]>Aug 16th 2007 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/Aug 16th 2007 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/Aug 19th 2007 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/16/sony-offering-up-swarovski-crystal-clad-e010-daps/And I see no resemblance to the iPhone whatsoever.]]>Aug 17th 2007 12:35AM
