I went to BestBuy in Milford, MA, to my supprise, they have stacks of the new Sony NWZ-A728 players selling for $189.99 available in both black in pink. So, just letting everyone know to check the BB if you're planning to pick one up.
I didn't get one. still waiting for 828 . Don't know if I'd using BT, but I want it on my next player. My 616 is doing the fine job now until I can get a hold of a 828
crap....why did I preorder..???

That is awesome news. I'm not surprised, sonystyle's website said 3/19. Question, the picture was blurry, but if my eyesight is correct, is it $189.99?
Yes, that is the price $189.99. Forgot to mention a tip to save 10% in my previous post. If you planning to pick this one (or anything) @ BB, grab a "Mover Guide" at your local Post Office, in there you'll find a 10% discount coupon, works on almost anything $99 or more. You could get this 728 for around $171, not bad for an 8GB player.
I also saw the silicon skin for the 72x/82x series at BB for $20, only have it in smoke color.
If anyone here get one of these new player, please post your review. I'd like to see reviews from head-fiers.
We're getting nothing here in Canada as far as I can see.... Heck we don't even have the a818..... Things just stay the same... Like we're too retarded to get the higher end of the line with most popular brand...

The thing I don't like about the Sony mp3 walkman series is that you can't skip through a file quickly. I'd like to be able to skip through a mp3 audiobook but it goes so slow that it's not worth the purchase.
Sorry for replying to an old post but just wanted to mention that I too found the slow fast-forward speed really annoying on my A816 (which I otherwise love) until I discovered a little trick. Seems the FF speed is quite slow when in play mode (approx 10 times normal), but if you first *pause* the player then press FF the FF speed is much faster (approx 80 times normal). Much better for those of us who listen to audiobooks or podcasts.

Nice, thanks..I was frustrated with the slow speed as well

I really wish Sony and other mp3 makers support podcasts fully. It's one thing that i like about my ipod.
