Walkman? That's So 1980s
Walkman? That's So 1980s
08/09/2004 11:15 AMI am not sure why Sony -- and a lot of other people -- thinks that the
Walkman is such a great brand name. To me, the brand Walkman means
casette-tape player. Big, bulky, and sequential access to my tunes. In
fact, if I am not wrong, Sony's portable CD-player was marketed under
the name Discman.
So, I am not entire sure there's wisdom in
re-using the brand Walkman in Sony's latest MP3... er, well, digital
music player.

People are saying that
terrestrial radio is dead, but don't believe them. They're crazy and
they smell. DAB&md
ash;a digital radio standard popular with people "in other countries,"
if we're to believe the media—is very cool and could possibly
improve our general listening experience. However, it is not readily
available here yet. That said, Sony has introduced a line of portable
DAB players including the XDR-M1.
This digital radio has 40 preset stations and an FM tuner in areas
that don't have DAB reception. Now, if they could give us DAB over
here instead of non-stop commercials for Trimspa, perhaps I'd turn on
my radio every once in a while.

Sony has
just taken the wraps off their new NW-HD5 hard disk-based music
player, a tiny little thing with 20GB of storage. It weighes just 125
grams, which I'm told is less than the weight of a heavily-iced
cupcake (I'm not very good with weights, you might have noticed). Sony
is also promising an ample 40 hours of bettery life and an easily
removable battery. The NW-HD5 will be available in silver, red, and
black and will go on sale in the UK next month for £200 (no word
of a US release yet, but I'd say we'll get it soon enough).
The coolest trick is probably its new 'Follow Turn Display,' which
orients the interface screen depending on which way the NW-HD5 is
held. If I know Sony, I'll bet the controls rotate, too, like the Sony
Vaio U-Series.

Sony unveils its new WALKMAN
04/06/2005 12:33 PMSony has unveiled its new WALKMAN, a 20GB HDD player with an aluminium
body and credit-card-size dimensions that can hold up to 13,000 songs
or 900 CDs worth of music.
The NW-HD5 offers a 40 hour replaceable battery. It also features a
large and easy-to-navigate 7-line LED screen. The display is
synchronised to hand movements, flipping from horizontal to vertical
depending on moves, eliminating the need for “right side up”. The
NW-HD5’s specially designed sensor kicks in when dropped, providing
immediate and effective shock protection. The NW-HD5 comes supplied
with SonicStage3.1 software that plays both MP3 and ATRAC formats.
The player is available in a choice of black, silver or red and is
expected to be in UK shops next month. There is no announcement on a
North American launch.

Gizmo Girl
has a healthy review of Sony's relatively new NW-HD3 MP3 Player. (And
it plays real MP3, instead of "converts to our proprietary
format while you wai MP3", which had been the case with all of Sony's
previous "MP3" players.) Sony kindly calls it a "Network Walkman", but
don't let those words invoke in you dreams of sugarplum IP fairies,
streaming audio from one device to another, with rainbow wireless
interfaces and candy packets of audio sharing. No, the NW wraps your
MP3s so that effectively once they check in to your device, they don't
check out. Still, sans file-conversion, the transfer process isn't
quite as awful as their earlier players. And it comes in pretty (and
familiar) colors. Battery life is apparently quite stellar, and its
small stature but high capacity has them swooning.

sounds a lot like the Sony Walkman, launched two years later. Flush
with cash, Pavel now plans to go after Apple and other makers of, er,

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.

It was only yesterday that Sony's NW-HD5 was
officially announced in Japan, and it seems the company has already
managed to convert the Sony Building into a giant promotion for the
Network Walkman line, called "Walkman Records." This marks a first for
Sony, as their domestic (Japanese) Walkman campaigns typically
revolved around MiniDisc (and for good reason). The first floor is
divided into three sections: "TOUCH," "LISTEN," and "BUY," where I
presume you can do each activity. Don't expect to see this at your
local Sony store any time soon — as of this writing, Sony hasn't
even announced the NW-HD5 for stateside release.
