But, no-one was in! So, re-delivery tomorrow :) --> all the way from Japan! I cant wait to play with this thing

It's meant to be the iPod killer. It's smaller, slicker, cheaper (well, will be in comparison), better built, SONY, has a better battery life... and ITS RED!!!!

Har har har, ph3AR the red. Yeah, anyway, I'm looking forward to it :)

I have a feeling that you'll be quite dissappointed.

Nope, don't see the need for it. I ripped all my music to Atrac and it sounds fine.

btw, my previous post says NW-HD3 (I have this one)

Bad copy & paste job, I have the NW-HD1, not the NW-HD3.

I've just managed to pre-order mine.. through www.totallyskint.com/offers/newsony.php - it's not release til the 20th May, but at least I'll be first on the list.. Only cost ?199 (including deliver) which I reckon is way better value than the iPod. Has anybody managed to get their hands on the HD5 already? What's it like? Looking good to me.

My mate came round with his HD1 at the weekend and I thought it ruled... so....

I just ordered my HD5 today for ?185 inc. next day delivery.

Apparently the place I ordered it from are expecting a delivery Wednesday 11th so as long as they have enough left after all the other pre-orders then I get it on Thursday :DD

Just in time for major rev fest in uni library :woot::

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
