Exclamation Sony Announced NWZ-A820 series.....finally 16GB Sony DAP's

Well, as the title states,

Sony announced the new NWZ-A820 series, the successor to the NWZ-A810 series.

There will be 16, 8 and 4 GB (Flash memory) models available at launch.

Furthermore th QVGA screen grew form 2,0 inch to 2,4 icnh and the battery life has improved and now covers 10 hours video and 36 hours audio.

The colours available will be Black, silver, gold and pink.

There are no prices known and the Codecs seem to stay the same.
Biggest advancement will be tha addition of Bluetooth with support for A2DP.

This is the original article were I git this info from (gadgetzone.nl | Sony NWZ-A820 met 16GB geheugen). Unfotunately it is in Ducth, but everything it states is transalted into this post!

It will probably be realeased in April of this year.

Greetz.

PS: Here is the original article by engadget. (Sony's NWZ-A820 Bluetooth Walkmans heading to Europe - Engadget)

Enjoying the Ultrasound.

No gapless though if they're the 'Z' series. Shame, I'd still get one anyway - but I really want gapless.
I have it on my 808, but it's filled to capacity now

Will it look the same as the A810 series??
EDIT: I guess it will not be exactly the same as it has a larger screen.

Kudos to Sony (still cannot believe I am saying that)
Now if they could only bring their XBR LCDs down to a lower pricepoint.

It's a great time for flash DAPs. So many good alternatives... it's beautiful.

Great, time to put my 5 day old A818 for sale. They weren't kidding when they said "sorry about your wallet".

There was mention on here recently of the 16GB coming out soon! I guess you missed it?
Can you return your 818 if it's only 5 days old - or does the store you bought it from have a 'no returns' policy? If you just bought an 8GB, do you actually need the 16GB?
