*drools*

Sexiest looking DAP yet. I really like the form factor for this, looks like a child born with the perfect genetics between the ^10 and A810 family.

Looks to be more of a successor of the S610 rather than a direct successor to the A810 family (design wise) however, but it doesn't matter since both those DAPs look sexy anyway X3~~~

So in line to get one...

Does anyone want a Cowon D2? <_<;

I can't find where I read the prices ,but the dock is $180.

The 8gb version is supposed to sell for $260!

The 16gb is supposed to sell for a ridulous $350!!!

Sony better rethink the prices. The 81X is priced far more competitively.

taking in to account creative has lowered the 32gb zen to 350, and samsung is gonna realease a 16gb P2 for 250-300 also for end of Q1 or start of Q2, the 350 price tag might be hard to push,

The 16GB A919 (looks very similar to the A820s) is about ¥35000, which is around $328. I think they're the same feature-wise, minus some features. I know that the A919 has that 1seg/ワンセグ TV broadcasting thing, so that can probably bring the price down a bit assuming it does not appear in the A820s.

...now I'm in a dilemma: wait for the A820s and return the A818 that's coming my way, or enjoy the A818s for now.

I don't like the border on the screen, wish they could have made the body width smaller.

I like the A818 controls, maybe because I'm right handed

Beautiful player....To bad there wasn't an 80gb hard drive stuck in there...and the ability to play lossless....and the ability to have a line-out without a dock...Then I would most certainly buy one.....Oh well I can always dream...

well....

assuming form the site and the earphones on the pictures (MDR-NC022) one could assume it has noisecancelling built in...

Is this a standard feature or just in some models, or worse, Japan only?

Thanks kite7 for letting us know about the video.
A820 looks quite nice but I think I will stick with my A818 for a while.
