the $60 off at the sony style store was an instore discount that ended on monday, memorial day. i am so pissed off that i didn't haul myself over there over the weekend to check on it. missed it by a day. i've been keeping my a829 in the box trying to find a good deal on the a729. lowest price i see otherwise is still at vanns. anyone else find a better price?

well got the cheapo silicon skin, it fits pretty well and all the buttons are still easy to press. the arm band is a bit short though, sorta only really works well as a fore arm band and no..i'm not muscled

still, decent for 7~bucks shipped.

Do any fellow sony 82x owners know if there are any plans for updates in firmware any time soon? Just curious

I ve had lots of Sony DAP's and I cant remember one firmware update... Sony tend to release the finished article as oppossed to half baked like some ocmpeitors in order to get to market quicker...

I hate to be thinking about it already, but I wonder where Sony is going to go next....

Ano, the sony is great sounding little player but thats about it. I can't help but crave some more! It would be great if sony did firmware updates- look at the D2 and P2! Wheres the evolution sony?! I get the feeling sony are both lazy and greedy. Ah but then so am I!

Anyone else disappointed in this?

I picked up my 16GB and am impressed with the sound quality but disappointed with the volume. It sounds like the AVLS is on but it isn't. Turning up the volume seems to just keep everything at a constant level. I've played around with settings continuously and it just doesn't cute it.

My old player is a 20GB NW-HD5 but its jack is broken. Despite that, I'm sticking to it for now.

A very common gripe for those of us who don't want an amp.
