Sony's "iPod killer" Fails to Draw Blood

Posted by Hemos on Saturday July 31, 2004 @05:29AM from the good-news-for-apple dept.

Mr_Silver writes "Walter Mossberg (of WSJ fame) managed to review the new Sony NW-HD1 and was distinctly unimpressed. The upsides: it's smaller, lighter and has a battery life of 20 hours. The downsides: goodbye MP3 - hello ATRAC3, slow upload (and converting) times and the confusing user interface on the walkman, PC software and the music store. When will someone pass Sony the cluestick?"

  You can offtopic it all you want, but the fact remains that this was on the Mac newsboards a week ago, so, it is OLD NEWS.

definitely some morons with mod points today. It's not off topic, it's right on topic. It's about the fact that slashdot is so far behind it's not funny. used to be you could find news first here, but more and more I see things on CNN first, like the Blue Moon, and then here the next day.
