Sneak peek of the next Sony Network Walkman
comment: 8 | Sunday, February 20 (2005) 04:44AM | Posted by Austin Vaughan
Sony design looking good as ever. This flash player will be known as the NW-E505, available in blue or silver with 512mb capacity. Features a 3-line OLED display, FM radio, and a built-in lithium battery that will power it for up to 50 hours. Weighs only 37 grams. That's all we know so far... It hasn't made an appearance on any of Sony's webpages yet.

This thing is freakin' sexy
If it had a removable battery... omg, it'd be awesome and I'd get it right away. But nope, it doesn't. Too bad...

Good to see Sony finally reading from the right page in the book of mp3 player design.

This design team (... and photographer) should definately be heading up Sony's next hard drive player. People are going to have to tire of the ipod design after a while...

Would you have to turn that knob thingy to go to the next song ?

or

maybe they've decided have an easier interface and the "<<" and ">>" buttons were 'confusing' people too much...so they have a 'cleaner' design.

About the Sonic Stage... They will be releasing Sonic Stage 3.0 with this player supposedly. Hopefully its better than the piece of **** software they have now. Then again how could it get worse.

SowndOfDeth: the knob thingy has been a common theme on Sony portable remotes for ages. Remotes for Discman, Minidisc, and ATRAC players have had them.

It's actually quite nice, usually they have a dual-function thing, whereby twisting them does track fwd/rev, and if you pull then twist, you get volume up-down, or some other secondary function. Quite a cool way of getting four different controls into one physical 'button'

If this thing has USB disc capability, I'm allll over it
