First Impressions:
Well, when I first used these, I used them in the same place I'd expect myself to continue using these, on the go from place to place, and while at places outside the...
I bought these this week from amazon.co.uk for £10 including delivery. That's US $15.
Packaging, appearance, warranty, euro-nanny knows best:
Mine arrived in the small European packaging box,...
Absolutely beautiful little player. It's just a gorgeous chunk of tech that feels good to hold. For me personally tech has to have form as well as function and the AK120 doesn't disappoint on...
I agree w most reviews that these does not warrant the $499 MSRP. (Then rather opt for D5k, D7k).
BUT - at the +-$230 range I got them at (Amazon warehouse) - these are VERY good value for...

Nice! I do wished it had the rounded buttons(back and option) of the 818 though, those look like they might be harder to hit with big fingers- not that thats going to stop me from buying it anyways I also hope they use the same cirrus logic chipset.
looks like the walkman division cooperation with the cellphone division has finaly paid off for the dedicated dap, it looks good, still has that damn WM-Port, but sony will be sony, if it syncs and can be loaded trough bluetooth, then i can live with it, but if the BT is for audio streaming only, i dont feel like paying 35 bucks for a new cable if it breaks,
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~~~
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.
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...
