Yeah I was going to say...

Innovative control you got there.

Can't be any worse than Dell's scroll thumb thing.

not even that can kill it. i knew someone who used to throw it in the air a lot (sometimes pretty high) and it never broke.

I think it's really good that Apple go the whole scroll wheel thing... since otherwise there wouldn't be much that would set it apart from this constant barrage of new players. Fortunately nobody has managed to come up with anything near as useful.

I would be embarassed to use that in public. Some of their other music players are quite nice though. The NW-HD3 is actually better looking than the iPod, IMO.

did a playstation take a shyt?


iPod killar?
doesn't Sony ever run out of bullets? seems to me the Research and Development money can be transfered/re-routed directly into profit if they just stop making this crap.

Tastes definitely vary. . . That NW-HD3 looks functional, I suppose, but not very nice to use or to display. Sony's shuffle "killers" that were featured in a recent article look much nicer than these Sony products, but I do not even know if they are in production yet.

I am eagerly awaiting the release of the NW-E507. In my opinion the worst part about the unit is its name. The model shown at the top of this thread is quite ugly however.

You know what it reminds me of? That really crappy PS3 mockup that was floating around a few weeks ago.
