On Topic: this PMP seems alright, I guess. I don't like the circular button thing, they could come up with a better interface than that. I'd have to know the price to say whether it's worth it's weight. ]]>Aug 28th 2008 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/hands-on-sony-walkman-nwz-s639f-yet-another-non-video-walkman/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/hands-on-sony-walkman-nwz-s639f-yet-another-non-video-walkman/Aug 29th 2008 6:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/hands-on-sony-walkman-nwz-s639f-yet-another-non-video-walkman/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/28/hands-on-sony-walkman-nwz-s639f-yet-another-non-video-walkman/

small size, long battery life, drag and drop, amazing sound, customizable EQ. I dont care for video, radio, recording or the sorts, i just want it to do ONE thing: music.

has the ui improved.can you alter the orientation of the gui. i have a 728 and long file names are a pain.
it also has trouble with mp3 date year:P
and no podcast/audiobook directory to make sure shuffle doesn't become useless.
and slow seeking.
and without an audiobook dir it really doesn't have bookmarking. oddly it does save position on video, but not really on audio as it only remembers position of last song which isn't much use.

and of course it supports video, even their two previous models of that size/line had video. if its similar its about 10 hours mpeg4,9 hours h.264 baseline..cabac off. makes using video something usable because it won't wipe out your battery:P

as for the guy that likes atrac, theres no advantage to using attrac in a modern device. importing an attrac device from japan is just silly. these newer walkman support high bitrate aac and mp3.
