QUOTE(xandman @ Apr 13 2009, 07:56 PM) if clash of the titans... i have a feeling the sony will be crushed... but then again...both have its own pros and cons... whatever it is... ill be getting this and the ipod if it comes out and significantly improved from the touch that i currently have.... I think this new sony is just somewhat the same as the iPod touch only, for some reason, I still think that the current iPod touch can beat this new Sony ady  Anyway, really looking forwards for the new iPod touch  Boss Xandman: Ady sold ur UM2 eh  how much r u selling ur W3 i wonder

Haha, post this at Apple byte I guarantee you'll get bunches of feedback in less than one minute xD Anyway, I did admit that iPod SQ is not as gd as Sony but not so sux until its torture  that's why I bought Klipsch custom-3 for my iPod. Compensate the short

QUOTE(perverdz @ May 6 2009, 04:46 PM) Engadget have the Jap version for initial first round review! http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/05/sony-ol...an-impressions/"Hands down, this is the best sounding PMP that we've had the pleasure of using, and sticklers for good sound will definitely be impressed...." The interface looks exactly like iPod touch man(except those parts mentioned by Xaw)  The home button is nice and the built beats iPod touch as well. I hope the SQ is gd  Price a little bit pricey though. This post has been edited by chingwooi: May 7 2009, 09:42 AM

QUOTE(Riddhy @ Jun 8 2009, 02:57 AM) should i regret that i bought an ipod touch 2 months ago?? i am disappointed with ipod touch because its external speakers suck like hell and video file formats is very limited and you have to convert it . for this x series plz tell me. 1. Does it have an external speakers? hows the loudness and sound quality? while playing videos and audios?? 2. does it support divx/xvid/mp4/mpeg2/wmv at least?? can i put a 700 mb dvd rip and watch it?? whats the max res it can play? i know its 320x480 but can i put 640x480 clip even though displaying 320x240?? 3. does it play flv files?? 4. Does it do you youtube?? How is it?? 5. Does it have storage expansion option? like sd/mmd/sdhc/m2 card slot?? 6. how does web browsing and photo viewing works?? can zoom in?? using fingertips?? Hehe, still thinking you've bought the wrong mp3 player? Although I'm using the 1st gen(without external speaker), I've nvr regretted buying the iPod touch, it's so handy. Also I don't use the video and external speaker so the 1st gen is fine with me coz I'll be using earphone all the time. If you want louder speakers, you should hv bought the iPhone instead of iPod touch IMO. In the meantime, pray that the firmware 3.0 upgrade makes ur external speaker louder xD

QUOTE(maxizanc @ Jul 5 2009, 12:40 AM) Normally that one without warranty. Directly from factory. I bought one of the Sony Walkman before here from a forummer, there is no warranty but i have no problem with my unit even after 1 year. Check the info in the player, see whether there's serial number shown inside, if it's blank then most prob it's stolen from factory.

Added on July 10, 2009, 12:01 amQUOTE(bahathir @ Jul 8 2009, 04:00 PM) I don't care much about digital noiise cancellation, because my IEMs provide better isolation + better SQ. Lol, a 1k plus IEM vs a 400 bucks IEM, no place for Sony xD This post has been edited by chingwooi: Jul 10 2009, 12:01 AM

QUOTE(hirari @ Jul 11 2009, 03:42 PM) Any iems, be it 100 bucks or 1k, would provide better SQ if the isolation/seal is good. I guess it would not be long then before all of the Walkman production goes over there. =/ I went to play with this Sony X series walkman yesterday, the display unit at SOny Style in Time Square Plaza, too bad there's no song, only one actually but it's not the song that I like so I don't even bother to test the SQ, so I tried to play around with its other functions, first I tried the you tube and surfing net, I've to say that it's pretty disappointing, it took ages for the pages to load... so I closed the app and tried the photo app, the home button is very nice BTW, very nice to press in comparison to the iPod touch one, the photo viewer wasn't that bad, very nice screen display, after that I tried the video, the small screen seems to be quite a disadvantage for watching video, so I think if anyone of you were pondering btw an iPod touch and this sony x-series, if you're not so fussy about the SQ, iPod touch would be better the Sony for the functions, I'll pass with the Sony X-series, looking forward to the Zune HD now or iPod touch 3rd gen may be

QUOTE(maxizanc @ Jul 11 2009, 05:15 PM) They have many songs in the display unit la. How can you only found one. Did you try it recently? I tried to press the options available there but there really is only one song inside  May be I'm so noob that I dunno how to change song? haha. Added on July 11, 2009, 8:32 pmQUOTE(hirari @ Jul 11 2009, 06:26 PM) A different display unit perhaps. There's only one unit available there, right when you enter frm the entrance.

QUOTE(gilbertarenas @ Jul 21 2009, 08:29 PM) hard to compete with ipod touch coz it's lack of games and online store Added on July 21, 2009, 8:30 pmbut the SQ is definitely better than bloody ipods Yea, the Sony sounds more lively whereas the iPod sounds pretty dull. Functions wise, Sony still hv to brush up a lot in order to compete with iPod touch.
