Thanks for that 'ed' - just a quick question - how does the HD5, with its 7 line screen, compare to other 20GB mp3 players, in terms of what it can display on the screen at any one time ? Cheers - Boris B

Hi Jimbo - glad you liked it. I've been doing some more ferreting about and apparently there is going to be a limited edition, 30GB version of the HD5 (in silver), eventhough it has not been mentioned in the reviews. Only trouble is, nobody knows how to get hold of one ! Amazon are taking email...

Hi Bazza - I've just been having a look at another thread on this site which gives details of a new Sony model due out soon (if its not already) - the HD5. 20GB hard disk; large back-lit screen (which rotates as you turn the machine - cool !) and around 40 hours of battery life. I'm not sure of...

Hi 'edwelch' - thanks for the 'tech spec' on this new model. I took a look at the review and it really does look good - especially that rotating screen ! I didn't realise that it was actually on sale already. I had a look at the Amazon site and they can't confirm when its due out - just taking...

Hi Nismo400R - Thanks for that. I've just found this link which compares the two models. Might be of use to others in my position : http://www.t3.co.uk/news/default.asp?pagetypeid=2&articleid=33133&subsectionid=753 If anyone checks this link out - let me know what you think. Cheers - Boris B.

To ’Nismo400R’ Thanks for the reply - I ’m afraid I have another quest ion to ask ! I know that Apple make the ipod but can you use an ipod with a PC ? The new Sony HD3 will obviously work with a PC but will that work with a Mac ? I suppose if the connect ion of both models is via USB 2 then...

Hi Gameboy, Thanks for the reply - I here what you're saying about the ipod. Re file formats, I think I read somewhere that the Sony HD3 is ATRAC3 and mp3 compatible and can also read visual and data files. I don't know what ATRAC3 is (maybe you can help me on that one) but it sounds fairly...

:) I just checked out the link you provided and this model does look good. But I think I will still wait for the new Sony HD3 comes out before I make a final decision. Its supposed to be quite light (around 1 3 0 g) although I ’m not sure if the hard disk is quite as big as the Creat ive...

Hi Gameboy, I'm new to this forum thing and I'm trying to get info on the new Sony HD3 that's supposed to be coming out this week. You seem to know your mp3 players - have you heard abot this new Sony model ? How will it compare to the famous/ infamous ipod ? Cheers - Boris B.

Hi - I'm a new boy on the block ! I'm trying to get some real info on the new Sony HD3 mp3 player. I've read some official blurb but has anyone out there actually got one yet - if so - what's it like ? Or should I just get an ipod instead ? Cheers. :)
