its not a useless thread we helped someone get an answer and that is a large part of what we do here at Esato

actually, I have a colleague who is desperately waiting for one of these to be available at the Baker Street Sony shop at which point I get to have a little play and I reckon its pretty cool from all the links he has sent me about it!

It is what our community here on Esato do I shall agree with you fully on that point.

But personally I feel there are too many general threads, such as this for example, that have no reason to be here, it would have taken the guy less time to search Google for ''new sony walkman'' than it took him to create a new thread and wait for replies! [addsig]

this may be a long shot - but... is it the same adaptor as the new SE series? I cant get a good picture of one, but the stand looks similar. no real reason, just curious.
Its good to be back!

@defensive, its also provided the opportunity to discuss this item too!

although I have never owned a dedicated music player, I for one can see me getting a Sony music/video player some day rather than any ipod offering. I know Batesie is a fan of the Sony players too.

Anyway, I'll use this thread to post some comments when my colleague finally picks his up. They were supposed to be available from the 7th November but he is still waiting. Maybe now they are advertised on TV they will be here soon.

its a well spec'd device actually. engadget have some good live pics of it

well Apple has around 80% of the market share in the world.
Do you think this can topple that?

no, not this release, but ipod had a big head start in the hdd player market. And kudos to them, but they have rested on their laurels too long.

With the proliferation of such devices from iriver, sony, creative etc I doubt ipod will be able to maintain 80% marketshare. Infact I'd be surprised if that figure is accurate, even though it may have been true a year or so ago.
