groovyone, i see u have one.  are you going to review this thing?  can it play movies like divx? what’s the difference between the vaio pocket and HMP-A1 ? looks like the same thing to me

HMP-A1 is a video player, the Vaio Pocket is a still picture player.

Erik

hmp-a1 is $699.. sony pocket is $499.

a1 - 3.5” vs pocket - 2.2”

a1 - 20gb vs pocket - 40gb

a1 - MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, WMV, AVI(DV), DVR-MS, MP3, WAV player vs pocket - ATRAC3, ATRAC3plus, MP36, WMA6, WAV6 (reqires transcoding to ATRAC3 format) player

hmp-a1 also supports: JPG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, BMP

not quite the same thing.

Would really like to have one .. HMP A1 that is. It looks good but will wait for the price to come down.

here’s a review of the hmp-a1.

Thanks for that link linc. That was really nice. Its still too pricey i think. And i havent seen one of those in the UK markets as yet.

Talking about video players, how is the Archos Jukebox AV480
