I think it sounds pretty neat. I just hope you dont have to use sonic stage to put music on it.Sony will soon launch a new member in its hard drive-based Network Walkman family, its fourth so far, and this time the new player is more than an update to the previous model.
The most immediately obvious difference between the NW-HD5 and Sony's previous models is in the design. While the previous players were based on a landscape design that had users holding the player horizontally in their hands, the NW-HD5 is based around a portrait design in which the display sits above the controls. This is more akin to competing products, including Apple Computer's IPod. Sony hasn't abandoned the landscape design completely, as the image on the display can be rotated a quarter of a turn should users want to hold it on its side.
The circular control pad has been replaced by nine buttons. The display has also been changed to an LED (light emitting diode)-backlit 1.5-inch LCD from a similar sized organic LED (OLED) display.
