Thanks to
gadgetguru for the tip off.
This unit makes the iPod look childish and for whimps (OK so I own an ipod too so that makes me a whimp until I get my hands on one of these beauties)...
Although slightly more expensive than the ipod, the extra price is worth it.
1. Boosting a 1 cm shorter! and more sharper look, Sony's Mp3 compitable player.
2. The battery life lasts 2.5 longer than the iPods.
3. This unit also weighs considerably less than the ipod 20GB unit: Sony 130g vs. iPod 158g.
4. The player still uses ATRAC technology which means you can store heaps more songs than the ipod without losing sound quality. Songs are automatically converting by the player itself so no external converison is needed by you.
5. This player also supports the standard remotes that come with most Sony MD/CD players, however although the control will work the display won't. For those of you with a Hi-Md player. The remote works perfectly, display and all.
