Plus another article already said no worldwide Zune HD(geez MSFT!), Sony players are worldwide as far as I know. This one may be for Japan only though if it has a TV tuner like someone else mentioned, but they could release an international version.]]>Sep 11th 2009 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 1:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 1:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 2:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/
It does everything I want a cell phone to do, and it's incredibly rugged. I got it because it seemed like the then current version of the Sony Ericcson t610, a phone that was made of metal and as reliable as if it were hewn from solid granite. That thing I got in 2003, for free, from T-Mobile. It was amazingly reliable for years. It still works, though I don't need it. It's in my glove box, with a solar charger, just in case.

I break everything I touch, and yet these Sony Ericcsons have been pretty darn rugged. Most cell phone brands probably make really rugged stuff, except that one with the huge glass screen.]]>Sep 11th 2009 3:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 3:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 12th 2009 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 2:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/
Nanos didn't 'even' have video cameras a couple of days ago. I don't like this product... it's something you should already have in your cell phone (as well as your grainy camera), but that's an ad hoc argument if I've ever heard one.]]>Sep 11th 2009 3:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 2:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 2:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 2:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 3:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/
Of course, if this is important to you, you already have great headphones, so perhaps you don't want to pay for Sony throwing these in?]]>Sep 11th 2009 3:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/Sep 11th 2009 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/11/sony-walkman-s740-spied-in-japan/* fixed storage is primitive
* non-removable storage is primitive
* non-removable batteries are primitive
* non-gaplessness is primitive (if this doesn't do gapless, that is)

* wired remotes with LCD screens: those were the days. Not having to whip out the unit to control basic things while you go about your day walking, cycling, sitting...

MiniDisc, I still love you despite SonicStage and aging 1GB storage sizes.

Too bad Sony REFUSES to make any media software for their mp3 players and SE phones!
Sonic Stage is still used in Japan and uses Sony's proprietary ATRAC file format! Both items are virtually "dead" outside of Japan! If Sony can create GOOD media software (similar to iTunes for iPods) for the device, then it'll have a really good chance of selling (well).

Also, the players are only available in Japan and only in Japanese, though some online Japanese stores I've contacted will export them but at a hefty price incl. shipping, mainly due to the high value of the Yen!
