Title: Incredibly small, incredibly cool
Review: Sony's NW-HD1 is an incredible piece of hardware! It's literally like a 0.5-inch stack of business cards. The buttons are well laid out and responsive. The 1.5-inch screen is sharp with green backlight. But what really impresses me, is the sound quality. MP3 music tends to sound flat and dull at the 64-kbps bitrate, but not so with Sony's Atrac3plus technology. There's a lot of "boom" and "richness" in the sound even at 64-kbps. I'm very happy with the audio quality on this. SonicStage software is not as bad as some "reviewers" claim it to be. It's very intuitive, even more so than iTunes. It's also stable on my PC. Transfering Atrac files to the Walkman is super fast. Transcoding MP3 into Atrac takes more time but just pretend you are still using old USB 1.This walkman is not cheap, but the incredible hardware design with high quality audio and totally cool form factor make it worth every penny. This is defintely one of my best purchases in electronics.
