heeyyyy~~~~~~~~~ there's nothing wrong with pink. in fact, i think the pink HD3 looks very nice

Just a bit of advice on the "Audio Output" feature: Try using a remote if you are listening thru headphones or earphones. The player (well, at least in HD3) will automatically limit your choice to "Headphone" only to prevent you selecting to "Line Out" accidently and causing damage to your...

It's definately real. According to Sony Japan website: http://www.sony.jp/CorporateCruise/P...00504/05-0406/ Looks like it will have: 1) Support BOTH MP3 and Atrac3/3+ 2) Bright LED backlight 3) 30 hours battery life if playing MP3 (128kbps) 4) new SEARCH button, help finding your tune...

Hmm... looks like the display screen can be rotated 90 degree. So that's good since I prefer and find it easier to use by holding the player horizontally (like HD1/3) instead of the usual vertical design...

I got the pink one, and it's absolutely beautiful especially with the pink (or purple depends on the angle) backlight! HD3 (pink) + MC40ELK remote + Ety 6i (with foamy tips) = perfect combination when traveling

I see, like going to a different function of the player (i.e., EQ, language, backlight setting... etc.?) Well, let me know how to do it if you find out.

From Engineering standpont of view, it's nearly impossible to please every single user out there. It's still possible but it would be very expensive and end up pricing itself out the market. On the topic of Sony strategy for their players, I think I am probably falling under their target...

Hi, Sphinx. If you simply press up or down on the directional pad while playing, it will bring you right to your current position of the list instead back to top. Then you can also se left button to go to the higher level of the tree hierarchy. Hope this helps.

Agree. The best EQ for iPod is no EQ. It distorts very bad.
