Amanda-Since you already have it, can you tell me if it has bookmarking capabilities? I will be using it mostly for audiobooks.

For me this was the better priced unit as it offered all of the options and storage I needed. PLus I own an 8gb that I use on my motorcycle trips and it has been bullet proof (dropped, kicked, sat on). Plus over 4years (with my 8gb) the vibration heat and UV factors have not hurt its performance. For the money (16GB). storage and my hard use of the walkmans, I feel the Sony NWZ-E475BLK 16 GB is a bargain. I have owned other brands but for ease of use and qaulity (durability) this is my choice. In this case I received way more product than I payed for. That is my oppinion feel free to make it your own.

On August 31, 2006, Creative announced that the player will be available in a 60GB capacity. Also, this version has a USB host adapter cable, which enables users to transfer photos from a digital camera directly to the player. It is only available in black and white, and is a little thicker than the 30GB model. However, on March 11, 2007, the 60GB model was upgraded, with the same thickness as the 30GB version. The 60GB model is currently only available for purchase in Japan, although Creative foresees a North American release date by the end of 2007 or early 2008.

This Sony Walkman has 8 GBs. I found it easy to download and to this day (bought this style 2 years ago) it still works fine.

I think the 2GB version came out before and has been out longer than the 4GB version, so many people bought it before they had the chance to even decide to by the 4GB.

I was wondering that myself. I pre-ordered this one about a month ago (at that time it was a ridiculous $319.99) and I'm trying to be patient as I wait. I e-mailed them, noting that Vizio had them available now, and they said there is no known release date for Amazon. If anyone knows when it will be available it'd certainly help ease my anticipation

Was just on Sony's website and it shows you can purchase the HX100 again with the ship date of May 16th. Do you think Amazon will be getting it then also or should I just get it through Sony? I have had it on order here since April 13th.

I believe the BDPS6200 is the newest 4k Sony player out. Not sure on the other brands.

Bob, I do not know for sure that your Sony will accept the 16gb but your instruction book should say. If you no longer have the manual you should be able to go to Sony's website and download the manual in pdf format.

No, sorry. You'd have to buy one with larger memory. I have over 1,000 songs on mine,but have to confess I don't use it for video, pics. So this is plenty for me. I will tell you (unsolicited advice) that it just stopped working one day - went dead,wouldn't charge) shortly out of warranty, and Sony's response was "We'll replace it for $50". Not very good customer service. However - bright lining - a few weeks later I took it back out and was able to charge and use it. Weird.

I could have sworn that I read somewhere that a future firmware upgrade would indeed make this player 2.0 profile -- I wonder if they decided to stick a gig of memory in it, and that's why it's taking so long to come out to market - they had to wait for the profile to be finalized before they could produce the product. EDIT: I just read this: "The Blu-ray Disc Association has specified that all hardware sporting the official Blu-ray logo that hits the market after the Halloween holiday must be able to play back picture-in-picture video via BD-Java. The mandate also decrees that all Blu-ray players must hold a minimum 256MB of persistent memory storage, which will help power the picture-in-picture feature. Finally, any Blu-ray player that features an Internet connection is required to have 1GB of such memory, in order to hold whatever content users decide to download from the Web." Therefore, since this player has an ethernet port, I would think that it would have to have that 1 GB of memory.

When you call customer service to order one at Sony, they aren't honest about what is going on. They try saying it is "just such a popular best selling item that it has already sold out" which makes no sense because it's not available online yet even and there are no existing reviews out there from apparently all these people who possess the camera already. So I held off on ordering right now and I'd prefer to order it through Amazon anyway.

I own a 16 gig S545 and have had it for quite a few yeas now. The difference is that it records FM radio also. When I bought mine, a new one was about $120.00. It seems that none of their models have the FM recording feature anymore. Only voice recording. Other than that you really cant go wrong buying Sony.
