price? if oled makes a tv/monitor like 4x the price is it the same
factor for a pmp?]]>Jan 10th 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/Jan 10th 2009 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/Jan 10th 2009 10:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/Jan 10th 2009 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/
Heres to hoping it lasts 30 hours more, a very good amount for a portable digital audio player.]]>Jan 10th 2009 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/Jan 10th 2009 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/]]>Jan 10th 2009 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/Jan 10th 2009 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/Jan 10th 2009 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/Jan 10th 2009 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/
I own an iPod and hate the iPod+iTunes combination to add music/videos. And so the Zune+Zune Software. (Which is much worst, so I sold my Zune).]]>Jan 11th 2009 1:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/
I though Ryan Block was secretly a ninja? Can't he possibly do something about the security? :)]]>Jan 10th 2009 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/Jan 10th 2009 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/
I have an older Sony mp3 player, the S2, which required sonic stage. It wasn't terrible, but the drm nature of I could live without. The newer models all support MTP, so you could drag and drop. Though you can't truly drag and drop just any files (only supported media files), since it's not MSC (think usb flash drive, any files possible).

Sony mp3 players are by far some of the best sounding off the shelf players. But judging by the current popular players, you can tell sounds quality takes a back seat.

If it supports Vorbis, FLAC, xvid, i'm sold. But judging by Sony history, slim change...]]>Jan 10th 2009 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/*OLED should mean great screen with less power draw
*no removable battery or storage, that I can tell (rather use my PSP, despite size of unit and lesser screen (and quite likely less battery life); at least these things can be replaced and upgraded for long-term use. It also plays games and unit costs is lower, too (albeit with burden of zero storage and less brilliant screen).
*AAC, MP3, WMA and WAV codec support (still no FLAC http://flac.sourceforge.net and Ogg Vorbis http://www.vorbis.com . It's 2009, Sony. Tired codec support in a 'premium' product? Your competitors are doing better.)
*edges a bit harsh (not rounded enough for easier pocket slippage), otherwise, OK.
*touch panel and buttons (good; better than just touch panel)
*Sony digital amp (this thing will probably sound good)
*noise cancelling (sounds useful)

Non-removable storage and battery (unless I'm mistaken) is very disappointing. What is Sony's out-of-warranty price on replacement batteries after they have reached 300-500 charge cycles and can no longer hold suitable charge?

At least Apple gives us this information (far be it for me to promote them but credit where it's due):

(I use third party software to load music on my iPod so I wouldn't know for sure)]]>Jan 11th 2009 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/Jan 10th 2009 8:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/Sony finally gives the Walkman the ability to do on-the-fly playlists! Not sure why it's so hard to add this feature. I hate having to plug my Walkman into my computer and make playlists ahead of time. Nice to be able to queue up albums/songs when you're out and about. ]]>Jan 11th 2009 9:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/sony-oled-walkman-nwz-x1000-eyes-on/Jan 14th 2009 12:36AM
