How did you manage to transfer your music onto the 829 in the store? Don't you need a PC to do that?

It's stating the bleedin' obvious really. I get no prizes for predicting there'll also be a 64gb. The question is: When?

I think someone may have touched on this briefly before, but does the build quality of the A82x/A72x feel worse/cheaper than that of the A81x?

This is NOT from personal experience (so don't take it as facts), but from what I've heard the way it's designed gives it a somewhat more plasticky (and with that comes cheap) feel. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about though, but it may not feel quite as rock solid and tough as the A81x.

Hmm.. it kind of reminds me of the material they used on their SZ-premiu series laptop.. had the same brushed-metal like look.. but actually felt more plastic-y then solid-metal..

So I am guessing that you cannot transfer music over the bluetooth connection, right?

Nope. It's just for wireless listening, which to me makes it a bit useless.

And I imagine not having a true line out, it really does not lend itself to amping. Hmm, tough choice there.

As far as I know the dock for A81x/A82x has line out. But I don't know if it is a TRUE line out. Can anyone confirm this?
