Mossberg: Sony's new Walkman is no 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.

So this is it, then; the Sony Network
Walkman NW-HD1, the new music-only player powered by a 1.8-inch hard
drive, enough RAM to provide 25 minutes of skip-free playing, and an
impressive 30 hour battery life. While initial reports mention that
the NW-HD1 will support MP3, WMA, and WAV -- and technically, that's
true -- it seems the "support" comes via the same old Sony trick of
converting everything to ATRAC3 on the fly. That still sucks as much
as it ever did, Sony. Still, this is the one they're counting, really,
to make a dent in the iPod's dominance, and right out of the gate it's
got a couple of dings again, with the ATRAC3 and probable lack of WMA
DRM files. At least it's small [8.9cm x 6.2cm x 1.4cm], if not cheap
-- the initial prices for the 20GB model look to be around $400.
Our previous rumors of the NW-HD1 also mentioned a 40GB prototype.
I wouldn't be surprised to see that soon. The 20GB version should be
available in Japan July 10th, in the States in August, and in Europe
by September. (Thanks to everyone who sent this in. You all get
cupcakes.)

player to bear the Walkman name. The device was launched on Thursday
as the Walkman brand marked its 25th anniversary. The NW-HD1 features
a 20GB hard-disk drive and is, according to the company, the smallest
music player at this capacity. It measures 89 millimeters by 62.1
millimeters by 13.8 millimeters and weighs 110 grams. The capacity is
half that of Apple Computer Inc.'s highest capacity iPod, but Sony
says its player trumps Apple's in terms of the number of songs it can
store: 13,000 on the Walkman versus 10,000 on the iPod.

Sony's $60 iPod? No way
Sony's $60 iPod? No way
11/06/2003 01:54 AMThe 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....

Sony's 4,096 x 2,160 SRX-R110 Digital

06/07/2004 07:29 AM
Built specifically not
for consumer markets, the new Sony digital cinema projectors, the
SRX-R110 and the SRX-R105, are top-end "4K" projectors meant to
replace traditional film and lamp technologies with a killer 4,096 x
2,160 resolution. By using a Silicon X-tal Reflective Display (SXRD),
the 10,000 lumen SRX-R110 can, when projecting a 16:9 image onto a
27-foot wide screen, shows images where each pixel is "only about the
size of the letter 'e' in 'Liberty' on a quarter." Sony recommends the
10,000 lumen SRX-R110 (the SRX R105 is 5,000 lumen) for screens
between 25 and 40 feet wide. You can even split the screen into two
1,920 x 1,080 images or four 1,024 x 540 images simultaneously (the
press release says four 1,920 x 1,080, but I question that math). Sony
offers a "2K" design in their high-end consumer Qualia line of
electronics. (Sony, if you'd like to send a product review sample I'd
be happy to knock out a wall.)

Wi-Fi-to-audio adapters by having its display built right into the
remote control. (Mossberg complains about having to enter a
hexadecimal encryption key into the Sound Blaster software to attach
it to his protected network. He speaks for all home users when he
writes, No normal consumer knows what "Hex" is, and companies should
stop expecting them to use it. On the other hand, when he says that
the key is rendered in an arcane and obscure kind of techie code
called "Hexadecimal" he's just being crotchety. Hexadecimal is just
base 16: 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. Fortunately, WPA will replace
the hex-interfaced WEP system eventually.) I saw a similar device,
Slim Devices's Squeezebox, at Macworld Expo last week. The Squeezebox

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

Mossberg Kvells Over Verizon Wireless's
1xEvDO
04/09/2004 03:57 PMThe Wall Street Journal's personal tech guru Walt Mossberg loves
Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess 1xEv-DO service: He had no problem
configuring and using it, and thinks the price is high--$50 a month
instead of $80 a month seems like a better rate. He's concerned about
the tragedy of the commons--or common carrier in this case--but offers
tentative acceptance of Verizon Wireless's claim that they can
maintain a minimum data rate in the face of broad adoption. Mossberg
tested AT&T Wireless's EDGE and achieved 82 Kbps, a speed above what
seems to be typical of most of the users we've heard from or read
about. But he hit 500 to 700 Kbps in his D.C. area with Ev-Do.
Mossberg mentions the only real downside: 40 to 60 Kbps upload speeds,
which we started discussing in this space a few days ago. The
asymmetric upstream/downstream speed may be a function of the
technology, but with the extent that cell companies are trying to turn
consumers into producers with Web cameraphones, streaming video
uploads, and other bandwidth-sucking tools, 40 to 60 Kbps won't cut it
for long....

Attack of

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

AirPort Express 'falls short' for WSJ's
Mossberg
07/22/2004 03:04 PMWall Street Journal columnist Walt Mossberg
turned his attention this
week to Apple's new AirPort Express, a wireless networking hub that
streams music to your home entertainment system. Mossberg concluded
that the US$129 device does what Apple says it should, but still falls
short of the ideal, since it has no remote control. Mossberg lauds the
size and easy portability of the device, as well as the setup
assistant software included with it, but is disappointed with one
"fundamental" problem.
