Sony's Walkman NW-A910 series slakes that media jones {Engadget}
Sep 27th 2007 8:35AM QVGA is the max resolution of 1Seg, therefore there is no point in having a higher esolution. Also yes, this does use Sonicstage, but only because it is a Japan only player, both of the last 2 Walkman's released in the West are drag and drop compatible, as well as supporting DRM'd WMA's.

Sep 10th 2007 4:41PM Drag and Drop, Winamp or WP11, your choice, just not Sonicstage or iTunes.
Samsung's 70-inch LED-backlit LCD television now on sale {Engadget}
Jun 14th 2007 6:56AM I thought the (US available) Sony KDL-70XBR3 took this accolade already because it was announced at CES at January and is on sale in Summer (preorder for $33k). From what I can tell they are the same panel, 70", LED backlight and 120Hz tech. Oh well, maybe it is because the Samsung is available now?

Mar 7th 2007 10:58AM Every walkman I have ever used has had at least a 5-way adjustable EQ, even the small flash ones, expect the same for this one.
@Ignacio: your kidding yourself if you believe that the DSP in the player itself has no effect on sound quality. Have you never heard of the complaints about the lack of "fullness" in the iPod's sound? Also, the headphones that come with this player are more than $50 when sold on their own and most would see no need to upgrade from them.

Mar 7th 2007 9:46AM Fair enough, in my experience, Sony players (I own the NW-HD1 and NW-S706F) have their foibles (I probably would have switched my HD1 for something else because of lack of mp3 compatibility, but didn't because of atrac lock-in) but sound quality is as good as any other DAP I have ever heard, the S706 even supports LPCM and atrac-lossless and to my ears the separartion and clarity of the soundstage on that unit is the best I have ever heard.

Mar 7th 2007 9:24AM read any cnet review on sony walkmans, the excellence of the sound quality is always noted. The NW-HD5 won cnet's sq test, and by all accounts the following walkmans are an improvement (NW-S706F and this one).

Sony announces its biggest Bravia: KD-70XBR3 {Engadget}
Jan 7th 2007 8:57PM Whoa, is that a reference to LED backlighting I spy? As in the tech thats supposed to bring LCD contrast ratios upto and past plasma/CRT standards? How come only Sony announced LED backlighting, what about Samsung (same panels)?
Alongside 120Hz (also announced by every other LCD manufacturer) to reduce smearing, this should finally put to bed the plasma vs lcd debate.
