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.

Walt Mossbertg, the technology columnist at a little paper called the
Wall Street Journal reviews
the new iPo mini, and over all he likes it. Of course, he would like
it a lot more if it were $50 cheaper, a common complaint and one I am
sure Apple will address as for price of those cute Mini harddrives
goes down.
Of particular note is this little tidbit:
In fact, the latest version of iTunes even senses if you have a Mini,
and if your song collection exceeds its capacity, the software can
optionally auto-choose a selection of songs that will fit. It builds
this selection, in part, based on which songs you've played most often
or most recently, and which you've rated highest in iTunes.
This is the first I have heard of this feature, and I must say it is
pretty cool.

After two years of market dominance, Apple's iPod is finally getting
"a run for its money," according to Wall Street Journal columnist Wall
Mossberg. Mossberg's latest Personal Tech column, entitled Attack of
the iPod Clones, discusses the burgeoning threat of Apple's MP3
player market competitors. Though mainly of interest to Windows users
-- as two of the devices Mossberg mentions are, for now, for Windows
only -- it's worth comparing how Apple's own offering shores up
against some big names in the high-capacity MP3 player space.

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!!
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.

Sony's new Hi_MD MiniDisc
players are creeping onto the market, and while most of us have passed
over MiniDisc for bigger and presumably better things, the Hi-MD will
let proponents of the standard eke along for a while longer, with 1GB
of storage per disc and up to 45 hours of music at the lowest,
crappiest compression rate. I don't feel like I have to throw up a
bunch of MiniDisc disclaimers at this point -- if you're interested in
the new low-end Sony MZ-NH600 player, for instance, you probably
already know what you're getting into. Australian IT has the review,
and except for the overly complicated 5-way controls, they give the
plastic player a generally passing grade.

Sony's new "SCD-DR1" Super
Audio CD/Audio CD player is apparently the pinnacle of high quality
audio playback - or at least we hope so with its $11,000 price tag.
Sporting audio interfaces you probably haven't heard of, such as the
"High Quality Digital Audio Transmission System," the player can
output using optical, coaxial, balanced digital, and even i.Link
(Sony's FireWire flavor) ports. The latter should help you with those
200Mbps Super Audio CD DSD (Direct Stream Digital) transfers.
Sounds expensive. Oh, that's right, it is expensive. Let's hope you
get what you pay for.

Another Hard Disk Sony Video Player?
Another Hard Disk Sony Video Player?
08/02/2004 10:25 AM
So there's stink about this
one possibly being a fake, but there's a new Sony hard disk-based
video player on Japanese website CD Report that claims to have a 20GB
hard drive crammed into a unit just a hair bigger than the iPod mini
(hence, the fake rumors). If it is legit, it is supposed to be
released sometime around Christmas for a price in the neighborhood of
$450 - not a bad price if it ends up being the real deal.
Of course, Sony learned from the HMP-A1 that people might actually
like players that could support native MP3 playback, so the new
unit is rumored to have only ATRAC support (that means, basically,
that this thing will be a dud as a music player).

another hard drive-based music player, called the Sony NW-HD1.
It's all rumor at this point, of course, but according to my source it
will be branded under the Walkman name and has "far better styling
than the Vaio offer." Sony is apparently shopping it around to various
outlets now to see what people think in preparation of an autumn
launch. If anyone can grab me a picture of this mythical new unit, I
would bake you the most delicious cupcake man has ever baked.
