Hey, the HPM-10 mp3 player is now selling on expansys for $42... that's almost the cost of just the memory card. Why is it so cheap? Does anyone know about a new mp3 player coming out soon?
Thanks.

All I know is that the MP3-player has gone out of production and that many stores are selling out their stock.

I am really looking forward to the next one! There will be one.. OR?

There will be a new one, it'll be Sony Ericsson branded.

I bought it too, cos it's really cheap! It's cheaper than a 32MB card here!!!
So, just buy it and then you'll always have a cheap card! The card can always be used!

No news on a new MP3 Player yet....

simma down peeps. how about we just wait and see instead of jumping to conclusions? it makes sense that they would release a 'sony-ericsson' branded player, but who knows?

I actually asked sonyericsson regarding this matter and they responded with the following-

(replied back on 3/14)...
Answer:

I do apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused you. At this time, there is no schedule release for a new MP3 player from Sony Ericsson.

Best regards,

Sony Ericsson Online Support

But seriously, what does the person who replied really know? they have to get rid of their inventory, true. if they told me a new player is coming, i might have waited.

I doubt there will be a MP3 player. I think we'll see a Sony MG-MemoryStick2 ATRAC player clip on sometime down the line though.
