Hmmm it could be new for Japan. 16gb models were expected. But this has ATRAC support which Sony dropped in the current generation players.

It's been around for months and is old news at Atraclife. I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned here too. This model's an Atrac/SS Japan-only release and apparently can't display an English menu (although that didn't stop someone buying it anyway
. . . and no, it wasn't me!
The successor to the A81x is coming soon, (in a 16GB version) and it WILL display English menus.

I know, but hopefully we'll know something by the end of the month. I want the 16GB version as well! It looks like it will be similar to the 81x series but with Bluetooth and a bigger capacity. I just wish they'd implement gapless with the new series - but I think it's unlikely.

I'd like FM and a standard USB connection. Love a HiFi version with EX90's and amp like a RH1 in it. MS Memory stick, and WAV Line in recording. It will never happen though.

I like a built in FM radio as well. And Sony should put in either a memory stick or SD card expansion slot, that way we can upgrade the memory on our own. And a line out would be REALLY nice.
Looking forward to this new 16GB player coming out. I bought my last mp3 player about 3 years ago. I am definitely in the market for a new one right now.

I definitely think it will be worth waiting for. And after 3 years, I think you'll find it a hugely enjoyable upgrade. Sony has implemented really good sound in its newer players, so I imagine the new model has to be at least as good as the 80x/81x series - and bigger. Yeah!!
