Sony NWZ-S764 - anyone know anything about it?

Thread Starter 
Sony has released a new MP3 player but I can't find anything about it on the web. It must be so new that nobody has had time to review it.

Does anyone here have any comments about it? It seems to be an update to the higher-end NWZ-S754. The 764 comes with a wired and wireless set of canalphones. But I am specifically interested in the audio chip.

I have the old S754, and the S76 series is the same except for a regular LCD instead of Tru-Black, Bluetooth instead of Noise Cancelling.

 

It has the same playlists feature, is mostly metal, and has voice recording. I'm guessing it sounds the same, too.

I picked one up this weekend.  The bluetooth iis a good feature for those that really want to be hands and wire free.  I like it while driving.  It shares a couple of traits that the last E series generation have and it's very annoying.  When you are playing music in the Sensnme channels, and you exit to maybe do other things on the player....it stops the music.  It does the same thing with podcasts.  It is really irritating.  The sound is good.  Right on par with the Walkman players.  But I have to say this....There is a very small noticeable sound difference between this S series and the E series. 

 

I would say for 149 dollars and 8GB, I think the new Ipod Nano is a better buy.  But that's just based on features alone.

I got the 16Gb S765.. it's good, but not much of an upgrade on the older S - just BT instead of NC and a non tru-black screen.

I haven't been able to find one to look at and I wanted to know if it has a headphone jack too?

I wasn't sure if it was bluetooth only.  The bluetooth would be nice, but I'd like to use regular earbuds too.

Thanks!
