Details about Sony's NW-HD5 Digital Music Player
Posted by James Fee in "THOUGHT" @ 10:00 AM
"Well, Sony is in the middle of being hyped alright. Their new NW-HD5 is the subject of everyone's attention all of the sudden. AV Watch Japan (Babel'd) has devoted a whole article to the new network walkman today, including some juicy pictures. A price of 35.000 Yen, or 325 EUD aka 250 Euro, is being mentioned. One can search tracks through Artist/Album/Track/Genre/Playlist fields, there's a new button which takes you to the top menu again, a 6 band equalizer and USB2.0 also come standard. Conversion of Mp3 files isn't necessary (just like with the NW-HD3) but SonicStage still seems mandatory for proper track management."
dapreview has some links to the Japanese site that confirmed this. It seems a tad expensive to me at about $325, but "It's a Sony". Sony seems to have almost created a player that could compete against the iPod, but the fact that SonicState is required to manage your library just hurts. :x
