NW-HD5: Sony's iPod Killer?

NW-HD5: Sony's iPod Killer? 04/06/2005 12:37 PM

Sony 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 PM
The 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


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....

HP's iPod Killer To Be... The iPod


HP's iPod Killer To Be... The iPod 01/08/2004 08:41 PM
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?

Another iPod killer rumor 05/28/2004 10:46 AM

What has it been now a couple of years since the original iPod was released and people are still running around saying that there is going to be this device or that device that will knock the iPod off it's pedestal. Some company can only hope they get that lucky. Slashdot has the latest rumor and until a product is seen and tested all this talk is just vaporware. [Slashdot ]


$50 Microsoft iPod Killer? Feh!!


$50 Microsoft iPod Killer? Feh!! 05/28/2004 09:39 AM
Microsoft 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.

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 09/07/2004 06:47 AM

sony-hdr-fx1-big-1.jpg imageSony'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!)
