I was more partial to this concept 1 2.

I've heard that they use an OLED display behind the case, native MP3 support, no need for silly Memory Stick™, no moving parts unlike a minidisc player.

I picked up those pics on another messageboard without noting the model name. I don't know if they're photos of prototypes or just renderings.

Thanks for the model number, raggie.

I've been following OLED development and I'm going to look for one of these at a store, just so I can see the display quality!

As I understand it, that thing has all kinds of stupid misfeatures intended to make it difficult to transfer digital recordings into a computer. It can't record in MP3 format. If you record in ATRAC format you can't convert to WAV on your computer. If you record in PCM, maybe there's some way to convert to WAV, but you have to transfer to the computer in real time (1 hour recording takes an hour to transfer).

I bought a Marantz PMD660 recorder which has various stupidities of its own, but it records in MP3 format directly to a flash card, and I can transfer a 1 hour MP3 recording to my laptop in about 10 seconds.
