yes yes. im looking forward to seeing what this does to the HD1 sales. i was so close to wanting one of these things becuase sony is sony and im crazy about them, smalllllllllllllll size. there was many important things that put me off it. just the atrac crap they used, and having to use their connect software, and also not being able to transfer music files from one terminal to another. im sure someone will be able to figure out these problems and post programs on the net to sovle these problems(like people have done for the ipod),

probably asking for too much from sony but - drop in price, compatibility with music formats, and the other major problems talked about, it would be 1 wikid piece of kit.

m3 still rocks my boat though (",)

They are setting up a service where you send you HD 1 to them and for a small fee they upgrade it to make it mp3 compatable, I think its only available in japan though

Check the DAPreview news page for more info though

Now all Sony has to do is make their Sony Vaio Packet (VGF-AP1L) support Ogg Vorbis and voice recording, and I'm sold.
