"Best Of The Best (CNET Reviews)"
Pros: Superb High Quality, Eye-Catching Design
Cons: Just A Small Click Sound
Summary: The design is more traditional. First time I see it, I feel a bit disappointed because it has the appearance of iPods and other brands. Then I think that is not the unique design of iPod, that is the popular design of handheld devices in general. Many mobile phones, even remote controls, have that design. Don't be ashame if your car has 4 wheels like others. The aluminum look makes the Sony HD5 cooler and more elegant. Small shape makes you feel better when holding it in your hand. Surprisingly, the bright OLED screen can change its position. Battery life is a clear advantage over other brands. With removable battery, I never worry about power problem when I am away. New set of buttons is more convenient and smooth. The sound quality is one of the best players available. What have I to say? Sony should launch the next generation of this device asap.

Yeah, I've just got the new one for few days. And I also tested the life of battery. It's really incredible. The sound quality is good too. But I don't know as if you pay attention to the heat of it when connecting via USB. I connected it via USB, and it heated up increasingly.It's about 40 C degree or more. And it really make me worried. I think it's obvious, 'cause it's HDD portable. But one more not good thing is Sonic Stage software to manage music. It's less friendly and less convenient like Itunes of Ipod. And I'm still impressed by the adjustment wheel of Ipod. So, I think both of Ipod and Sony have good things of them. I wish there would be the new one which like Ipod but use less energy like Sony. Do you think so, thanh ? I think you have same idea like me, and you're Vietnamese too.
