More on Sony's NW-HD5 Network Walkman
Still no official announcement from Sony, but a few more details have turned up about Sony's new 20GB
NW-HD5 Network Walkman courtesy of TeddyTheBear (hey,
that's what the site's called, ok?). This is unconfirmed, but supposedly it's going to be both smaller and lighter than the 20GB iPod (55.9 x 89.3 x 14.4mm and 126 grams vs. 104 x 61 x 14mm and 158 grams), and is also said to have a battery life of 40 hours (running on low bitrate ATRAC3 files, no doubt), special G-sensor technology to help prevent damage to the hard drive should you drop the player, support for playback of ATRAC3, MP3, WMA, and WAV files, a 1.5-inch LCD screen that can switch orientation, and a replaceable battery.
