Now this is a nice little player.

Good thing I didn't get that nomad 3 yet. Now, if the sound quality on this thing is any good (and I have no reason to suspect it isn't) than this could be a real winner.

It seems this player has started showing up in Japan. The guy is holding the player in his hand to get a good idea of how big it is.

How the hell did you end up on that Japanese page? Do you often browse Japanese pages?

(nice link BTW)

Am I mistaken, or is this player a bit bigger than an iPod? (or does this guy just have small hands? - after all, he's probably Japanese )

That's the Akihabara page I think we talked abou it in another thread

Yes, I check out that page weekly. Always cool stuff like this AMD Clawhammer board. Sorry DiGNAN17, you upgraded too soon (but isn't that always the case?).

Even though he probably has small hands, making the drive removable probably causes the case to bigger. It looks bigger to me, but still very attractive.

I read specs somewhere comparing the iPod and this new player - sorry can't remember where so no linkie.
But I do recall that this one will be about a centimeter (0.4') bigger all round.

Oh well, I don't really care if it's a bit thicker. I kinda like the removable drive mechnism idea. I hope it'll also be able to use the largest drives of that type, 20Gb. Sorta like minidisk all over again, but WAY better!

You mean this player?
