Vengeance Weapon 1!!

Advantages: Smaller, thinner, lighter and better built than iPod, battery life, ATRAC3plus doubles music capacity
Disadvantages: Still requires ATRAC3 conversion, While this Walkman reminds us of Sony’s superior engineering, it cannot match Apple’s openness and ease of use.

...could not be more similar. Sony and Apple seem to disregard the bottom line. Both emphasize creativity and innovation. Both hold many of the same ideas and visions. But one is known for its German-like engineering, while the other is much better at software and easy-to-use technology. These characteristic advantages are apparent in both companies’ music devices, and may determine which you choose.

Look & Feel

I was ...
...self confidence depends on it. Sony will have none of that. Use the included remote if you don’t want to seem like a preoccupied snob. The Walkman is subtle with clean lines and mostly metal construction. Engraved logos add beauty. Even the charging cradle and packaging look professional and mature. See the NW-HD1 for yourself.

Battery Life

Another reason I stayed away from the iPod was its poor battery life. Apple’s ... more

Sexy looking thing isnt it!?

Advantages: Small, lightweight, easy to use
Disadvantages: ATRAC3 storage takes an AGE to transfer, quite expensive, bad quality headphones

...least an hour on the Sony support call line I figured out that Song will only let your transfer music from your computer to your mp3 player 3 times. That's not over a period of times that's EVER. This was apparently to stop piracy so I found out, so you don't send the same song to multiple Sony units! I couldn't believe this, and basically I could only ever listen to songs I hadn't practice to transfer the day before! STARTING TO PLAY MUSIC Well ...
...unit on, easily with no problems, the menu is ranked in Artist Album Genre Track So you can easily navigate your chosen track, there is however not a scroll bar, so you have to hold down the button to select the track, not a major problem. Once playing the player can last for up to 30 hours according to the manual, I personally never got to 10 hours but it still displayed 70% SOUND QUALITY With the simple interface and the credit card size ...

Stylish Sony

Advantages: 30hr battery life, 13000 tracks and 20gigs hard drive
Disadvantages: tracks must be converted to atrac3plus, not that easy to navigate

...oh yes. Introducing the Sony NW-HD1, the first worthy enough to challenge the mighty Ipod with its sleek titanium body and it's astounding features it'll blow you away. FEATURES Dimension - 8.9 x 1.4 x 6.2cm Net Weight 110g 30hr Battery Life 20gb Hard Drive 13,000 song storage Songs in ATRAC3plus" Format at 48kbps Link to Sony 'CONNECT' (Online music store) 7 Line green backlit display USB 2.0 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery G-Sensor" ...
...Well I'm sure that's what Sony would like to do but it hasn't quite come off the first time but they have still come up with a stylish design. Yep a titanium body with a black tinted screen go absolutely perfect together, none of this tacky looking silver that just makes the whole thing look like a reject. Oh yeah and to set it all off it has a 7-line display to tell you all you want to know about the music your listening to, in fact this displays ...

MP3 or not MP3? That is the question!

Advantages: Small, stylish design, Storage capacity, Its Sony!
Disadvantages: Only will play ATRAC format, Sound quality average

...stupidy priced devices. The Sony NW-HD1 'Network Walkman' actually cost me £229.99 as it was on offer at Argos. I have bought cars for cheaper than that! I originally set out to buy a Minidisc recorder/player as I am impressed by their compact design and range of features. But when browsing through the Argos the NW-HD1 caught my eye, the 20 gigabyte hard drive should be more than most people will ever need and the unit itself is smaller than a cassette ...
...be sent off to a Sony Repair Centre for it to be replaced. The supplied earphones were of a good quality, sound good and are comfortable to wear... but wheres the inline remote control most Sony portable audio devices have? Other supplied accessories are the Sonicstage software (for converting and importing audio), a carry pouch for the unit and the stylish docking station and charger. Connecting it to my PC was straight-forward, via a vacant USB ...

hmmmm

Advantages: big storgae
Disadvantages: annoying fuctions - older models have mp3 issues

When I first got this little player I was very pleased - I could finally move my huge mp3 collection onto a portable device which also had the ability to switch the output impedence to suit it as a hifi auxillary input. I have since changed my mind and am looking for something else. The graphics display is far from fancy, and a little annoying to navigate between menus due to lack of keys - this lack of keys of course proves a plus in terms of the ...
...the player from formats such as mp3, wav & wmv. However all tracks transferred are converted into Sony's very own mp3 counterpart, omg. PLEASE NOTE - this may have changed on newer models as there is a firmware upgrade avaliable for all models enabling mp3 preservation - the upgrade however requires a wiping of the memory. The annoying thing about omg (which hasn't really taken off) is that it has very strict rights policies on songs whch prevent ...

Gadget of 2004 - but with some cons.

Advantages: Easy to use and small - good sound quality
Disadvantages: Lengthy process from CD's to the Sony NW-HD1

I'm the kinda person who likes to take their time when it comes to making a big purchase. So the time upto the purchase was spent on things like reading music magazines, reviews and weighing up the pro's and con's. So when I finally made my purchase. I read the 'basic' manual and was impressed with how simple the procedure from cd to player was. However, that does not mean it was short and sweet, infact it was the opposite. It took time, especially ...
...the album name - however I am glad it has the genre function - which lets you label the album how you see fit and to your personal taste. The actual battery life is amazing! Being a lady who travels to work and back on buses I wanted a player which did not need charging everyday. Let me give you an example, I travel 2 hours a day and then take 10 minutes to walk to my flat. So that's almost 2 and a 1/2 hours a day. In a week I must spend around 15 ...
