Man, the synergy the new Heir Audio 3.Ai has with the Z series is amazing. It sounds great, bass is nice and thumpy even at max with no deterioration!
Im in Canada, so i wonder if we have the canadian version or USA.
Tempted to go buy it today and try it out. I loved my X1000 but I sold it a year ago and regret it.

you're just as bad as Way
I have no clue but I know that the US and Japan sound pretty much identical. If I'm in your position, I will just import the US version just to be sure. Also, what's return & exchange policy in Canada? If it doesn't work out, just return it.
Well, the screen is large that is for sure, but it allows viewing video, surf web, and read PDF & book do-able.
would this player compare? its a sony Z series too, $129

This is a completely different product.
Read the previous pages. They describe all the possible features of the Z series Walkman (1050, 1060 and 1070 if I'm not mistaken)
If you want superb audio quality, get yourself a decent pair of headphones and one of the Zs - NOT the one you pointed out.
Although it will have great sound quality like any of the previous Walkmans, it depends on what you're looking for.
Once again, read the previous pages and do your own research on the products that you are interested in.
Google's your friend
The US and Japan versions are completely different. They look the same, yes but one of them is volume capped. As far as I know, the US version of the Z is volume capped whereas the Japanese version is not.
That's your main difference. If you would be trying to power your big over ear cans with the capped version, you will not get enough volume out of them. If you're using any in ear phones, you should be fine.
Worst case scenario, you can always load up an aftermarket player such as PowerAmp and use the boost feature on it to compensate. There will be some distortion towards the maximum volume level but that's as much as you can get out of it.
I've got the Japanese version myself and I love it. It's not volume capped and I have purchased it off e-bay. There are a few resellers from Japan who deal with electronics.
