looks pretty good. flash based. mura na ang flash memory.

but on the side, Apple found it also difficult back then to market the ipods because Japanese, and even Korean are so into small and cute. thus pushed Apple to develop the shuffle.

and coming from Sony, they manage to pull something (as always) to be a leader of stuff. sony wants to be recognized as a standard, where every time they introduce something in the market, everyone would follow. :no:

I loved the idea of the shuffle and in terms of hip/cool stuff Apple just can't be beat. But when push comes to shove, the techie in me would buy this over the shuffle, its sleek, functional and really cool. Apple has to come out with a flash player that offers a screen -- the competition is certainly coming in fast.

My apologies to Mr. Ive but this baby looks 10x better than the Shuffle.

Woohoo! A local shop had it and decided to get one (E-507)!

Here are side-by-side pics with the Shuffle:

Ganda. I hope you post a hands-on review.

Reggie, how much did you get it, and which store?

[Kelvin]

Nice to see that the competition is beginning to understand that to beat Apple they can't do it with marginally better products (with the iPod at an iconic level of success, nothing less than BETTER by leap and bounds is necessary) But again, they should take a page off Apple's design and realize that the product is nothing without tight HW-SW integration (iTunes).

Hey Reggie, care to post how much you got it for? just for comparison
