besides wireless headphone connectivity, what kind of capabilities will having bluetooth allow the A820 to be able to do?

i may upgrade from my beloved A818 only if:
1) the price is closer to $250 than $350
2) the SQ improved or remained the same
3) i read good things about the new square pad design

Letエs hope they build in faster flash memory this time around...
Apart from sq, which I think in its own rights is right up there with zune 80 and classic(yes), the ui and responsiveness is really what sets the nwz players apart from the competition. As the original press release states youエll be able to do even more from the Now Playing screen and getting around the player has been improved as well. Looks like an impulse buy

love it! i like this design more than the a80x/81x shape (not that it was ugly or anything, far from it!) dpad looks easy to use, and going by the dpad on the sony ericsson k770i (same shape as this) and will be very easy to use!

i dont see why Sony would change the audio chip, they would obviously know that its very good (if they have seen all the reviews etc from a808/a818)
Lets hope they found a way to make it better though!

16gb and bluetooth, just what i wanted! 2.4" screen (taken from the sony ericsson w910, i wonder?)

now, just hope sony ericsson start using the same audio chips (i wish, like thats gonna happen any time soon lol)

I agree - I much prefer the look and aesthetics of this walkman to the other Sony walkmans!
