Bem está visto que a Sony está decidida a tentar reconquistar o mercado dos leitores portáteis. Para isso têm lançado modelo atrás de modelo e cada vez a melhorar. O último modelo mais portátil do seu leitor flash (que toda a gente parece ter gostado) parece-me estar excelente mas no que respeita a hard disk players ainda parecem estar um bocado longe.
A sony durante muitos anos liderou o mercado com os seus Walkman... mas desde que passamos para a era dos mp3 que a Sony ficou para trás, culpa sua diga-se, apostou no Atrac um formato proprietário e teimou em ver a verdade... agora tenta refazer o que desfez durante anos.
Isto tudo para dizer que acabam de lançar mais um player, aqui fica.

Just on Monday I was bemoaning the lack of a decent Sony MP3 player. Bing! Like magic out pops something that looks really rather promising.
he NW-HD5 (sexy, love it, love it) seems to have finally knuckled down and understood what it means to be a serious player in this immensely competitive market. At 20GB it is heading straight for Apple’s big seller the 4G iPod and straight off the cuff it cuts its weight to just 125g. This is 33g lighter than the all powerful iPod and just 22g heavier than an iPod mini.
Continuing the innovations is what Sony dubs the “Follow Turn Display”. What this cleverly does is automatically reposition the 1.5in screen’s menus horizontally or vertically depending on which way the HD5 is held (see above). In addition, a G-sensor will detect if the player is dropped and enable shock protection (much like we have seen IBM provide with its laptops).
The HD5 will be available in black, silver and red and hit stores as early as May. Retail price will naturally be an iPod undercutting £199 including VAT, with a limited edition 30GB model set to be launched in June (pricing not yet finalised).
So everything looks promising on paper. Could Sony finally be about to do itself justice on the MP3 player scene? Well, there remain two big questions. Firstly, will Sony iron out all the problems with its Sonic Stage software which is currently light years behind iTunes (which it not perfect in itself)? Secondly, will the decision to stick with a mono display come back to haunt Sony given that Apple is rumoured to be readying colour for its 5G iPod?
Only time will tell.
