coming from a then-MD user (in the heat of NetMD), i was really turned off by Sony DAPs. i still enjoi the real-time part of MD, but the "Net" part was the killer. sorry to say it, but SS 1.5 was a piece of crap -- and no matter how improved it may be (SS-CP 4.0 now?), i'll never go back. that was a living hell to go through, and left me with a crippled PC (which was my parents). the way you had to convert any media file (mp3, etc.) to ATRAC, to me, was ridicurous. it just added a whole lot of unnecessary stuff on the computer. plus no Kanji character support. (you'd have to tweak registries, etc. on SS to do so -- again, too much hassle) w/ iPod + iTunes, Kanji, Hangul, etc. compatability is seemless; straight outta the box. i dont know if it's been fixed since 1.5, but reading threads over at Audio T-Board, it still doesn't seem to have been rectified.
one thing i can say that's 'positive' is the gapless support. but still doesn't justify it. i guess that's what Rockbox is for

so taking that quote verbatim, i wouldn't get mugged if i had an HD5, for example?
