NW-HD5: Sony's iPod Killer?
04/06/2005 12:37 PMSony showed off the latest addition to its line of Walkman digital
music players Wednesday, the NW-HD5. While it is the fifth hard drive
player to be released by the company, it will be the first to see
worldwide distribution. Unlike Sony's previous units, the NW-HD5 is
designed to stand upright, similar to Apple's iPod.

07/28/2004 01:08 PMThe
Wall Street Journal's technology columnist, Walter
Mossberg, t
akes a look at Sony's new 20GB Network Walkman NW-HD1, the first
Walkman portable music device to feature a hard drive (subscription
required to read the article). Already dubbed an "iPod killer" by some
industry wags, the Walkman fails to impress Mossberg on several
points, including "confusing" user interface, "tedious" song-loading
process that took more than two hours to transfer 416 songs, and less
robust companion music download service that also sports more
restrictive rules than the iTunes Music store. "The iPod wins this
round, and remains champion," said Mossberg.

Sony's $60 iPod? No way
11/06/2003 01:54 AM
The Register echoes our skepticism about Sony's announcement that
they're planning a $60 MP3 player to compete with the iPod:Sony hasn't
said that its $60 music player will feature a high capacity hard drive
as the iPod does - or is as compact as the Apple machine. Hard drive
prices are falling, it's true, but ultra-compact, high capacity models
are still pretty expensive, and eat up much of the cost of
manufacturing a hard drive-based music player. We've no doubt that
Sony will offer such a device of its own, but the $60 model isn't it.
That's less than half the price of a typical 128MB solid-state MP3
player, for heaven's sake.What Sony is probably planning is some sort
of barebones player that can have a hard drive attached to it or
something like that....

While everyone else is scrambling around trying to design an iPod
killer, the folks over at HP figured why bother? They've gone and licensed
the technology directly from Apple and will start selling their
own branded version of the iPod - complete with iTunes. This is a bit
surprising, because you'd expect HP to just sign up for a
Microsoft-supported product instead. Still, any bets on whether or
not this device will be called the HPod?

$50 Microsoft iPod Killer? Feh!!
$50 Microsoft iPod Killer? Feh!!
05/28/2004 09:39 AMMicrosoft is apparently preparing to battle the iPod. Not satisfied
with decimating the Macintosh with undercut pricing (and, admittedly,
a more sound distribution model) Microsoft wants the iPod to have a
more Apple-like 5 percent market-share. But will it work? Yes, and
no.
Yes, because there is a significant percentage of people out
there who simply don't appreciate the stunning combination of design,
technology, and usability that is Apple. These people appreciate a
cheap price, languish in the familiarity of all things Microsoft, and
don't appreciate good design.

iPod though. "Killer"? I don't think so. Not only will it be too bulky
to easily carry around with you, I also don't... (466 words)

Killer Mobiles for Killer Apps
Killer Mobiles for Killer Apps
02/01/2005 08:35 PM
Continuing my series on mobile platforms, I now think killer mobile
apps need mobile
devices designed like game consoles, meaning that it has one
or two slots
for application cartridges. Each cartridge contains one or
more applications.
Cellphones would come with a built-in cartridge containing the
phone app as well as
others.
Adding a cartridge adds new apps. Applications have two
modes: running and stopped.
The Next-App
button (aka
Appy button) activates (brings to front) each running apps in
turn. Some apps
can activate itself when an event fires (phone call
received). To see the list
of available apps, keep the Next-App button pressed for a second.
Eventually, app cartridges will be advance to become platform
cartridges, taking over
the full functionality of the mobile device to offer better
application platform services
than the one that came with the device (i.e. easy to use app
download service that auto-configures
apps for your device). If you don't like the built-in
calender, just stop it
and run a third-party calendar instead.

Sony's 3 CCD HDV HDR-FX1 Camcorder
Sony's 3 CCD HDV HDR-FX1 Camcorder
09/07/2004 06:47 AM
Sony's new 3 CCD HDV camcorder, the HDR-FX1, has
been formally introduced by the company after an initial preview at
this year's CeBit. What makes it so special? Well, along with a host
of other interesting features, the FX1 has the ability to capture
video in 1080i at 60 interlaced frames per second. Add into that a
projected street price of only around $3,500 and the FX1 becomes a
pretty amazing piece of gear, and definitely one that will get most
prosumer and semi-pro film makers all hot and bothered. The FX1 should
be available in November, and a hands-on with the press is expected
tomorrow (so expect to see more news). (Thanks, David!)

friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man. But the Mar. 7 announcement that
Sir Howard Stringer would take over management control of Sony (SNE),
